Where love is lifeB
The roses blowC
Though winds be rudeD
And cold the snowC
The roses climbE
Serenely slowC
They nod in rhymeE
We know we knowC
Where love is lifeB
The roses blowC
-
Where life is loveF
The roses blowC
Though care be quickG
And sorrows growC
Their roots are twinedH
With rose roots soC
That rosebuds findH
A way to showC
Where life is loveF
The roses blowC

Nothing came here but sunlightI
Nothing fell here but rainJ
Nothing blew but the mellow windH
Here are the flowers againK
-
No one came here but you dearL
You with your magic trainJ
Of brightness and laughter and lightnessM
Here is my joy againK

-
I have songs of dancing pleasureN
I have songs of happy heartO
Songs are mine that pulse in measureN
To the throbbing of the martO
-
Songs are mine of magic seemingP
In a land of love forlornQ
Where the joys are had for dreamingP
At a summons from the hornQ
-
But my sad songs come unbiddenQ
Rising with a wilder zestR
From the bitter pool that's hiddenQ
Deep deep deep within my breastR
