      Lyrics


      The White Rose
      The first time I met you, my darling
      Your face was as fair as the rose,
      But now your dear face has grown paler
      As pale as the lily white rose.
      Chorus

      I love the White Rose in its splendour
      I love the White Rose in its bloom
      I love the White Rose so fair as she grows.
      It’s the rose that reminds me of you.
      You're fair as the spring, oh my darling
      Your face shines so bright, so divine
      The fairest of blooms in my garden
      Oh lily white rose, you are mine
      Chorus
      Years pass by so quickly, my darling,
      Each makes you more precious to me;
      But long may we grow close together,
      Oh, lily-white rose, cling to me.
      Chorus
      Now I am alone, my sweet darling,
      I walk through the garden and weep,
      But spring will return with your presence
      Oh lily white rose, mine to keep
      Chorus
      Alternate fourth verse
      And now that you've left me my darling
      From your grave one single flower grows
      I will always remember you darling
      When I gaze on that lily white rose.
