rose of sharon

Lyrics

i am a rose of sharon, a lily of the valley, as a lily grown among the thorns, love in this world has found me, as an apple tree among the trees, growing deep in the forest, my lover's form is comely, with life and limb most joyous, rise up my love and come away, the rain is over and gone, your love is fruit of my darkest day, and i am your rose of sharon, his gentle hand lies under my head, his shoulders turn to face me, i shall not stir him from my bed, while he does so embrace me, oh, bring me wine to pass the time, though none but him can soothe me, i am my beloved's and he is mine, desire for his pleasure moves me, rise up my love and come away, the rain is over and gone, your love is fruit of my darkest day, and i am your rose of sharon, rise up my love and come away, the rain is over and gone, your love is fruit of my darkest day, and i am your rose of sharon
