Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The lily has a smooth stalk
Will never hurt your hand
But the rose upon her briar
Is lady of the land
[Verse 2]
When, with moss and honey
She tips her bending briar
And half unfolds her
Glowing heart
[Verse 3]
And there's sweetness in an apple tree
And profit in the corn
But lady of all beauty
Is a rose upon a thorn
[Verse 4]
When, with moss and honey
She tips her bending briar
And half unfolds her glowing heart
She sets the world on fire
[Verse 5]
When, with moss and honey
She tips her bending briar
And half unfolds her glowing heart
She sets the world on fire
