TWO RED ROSES ON A TREE.
Two red roses on a tree:Wind along, cold river!
One for him, and one for me:
Shiver, willow, shiver!
Not a word of love we said:
Wind along, cold river!
Roses told the truth instead:
Shiver, willow, shiver!
Other roses bud and blow:
Wind along, cold river!
Other summers come and go:
Shiver, willow, shiver!
Summer days to me are dim:
Wind along, cold river!
Never comes a word from him:
Shiver, willow, shiver!
Roses tell the truth instead:
Wind along, cold river!
Others bloom, but mine is dead:
Shiver, willow, shiver!
