Lyrics

Oh, rose of my heart, can't you see?

I don't belong to misery

Though she speak fine with subtle art

Such misery clothes the rose of my heart

Now what I see in the long twilight

A star falls down on a hill so white

On a hill so white

A face that glows in a golden hue

No one in this world knows what they do

I take my oath and I make my vow

For the tender things are upon me now

In the fragrance sweet of the evening air

I could leave this world, quite without a care

Oh, rose of my heart, the vision dims

The time is brief, now the shadow swims

I'll buy for you a real fine hat

'Cause that's for you, and that's where it's at

Now what I see in the long twilight

A star falls down on a hill so white

Oh, rose of my heart

Oh, rose of my heart

Oh, rose of my heart
