[If hope grew on a bush]
If hope grew on a bush,
And joy grew on a tree,
What a nosegay for the plucking
There would be!
And joy grew on a tree,
What a nosegay for the plucking
There would be!
But oh! in windy autumn,
When frail flowers wither,
What should we do for hope and joy,
Fading together?
When frail flowers wither,
What should we do for hope and joy,
Fading together?
