It tossed its head at the wooing breeze	A
And the sun like a bashful swain	B
Beamed on it through the waving trees	A
With a passion all in vain	B
For my rose laughed in a crimson glee	C
And hid in the leaves in wait for me	C
	-
The honey bee came there to sing	D
His love through the languid hours	E
And vaunt of his hives as a proud old king	D
Might boast of his palace towers	E
But my rose bowed in a mockery	C
And hid in the leaves in wait for me	C
	-
The humming bird like a courtier gay	F
Dipped down with a dalliant song	G
And twanged his wings through the roundelay	C
Of love the whole day long	G
Yet my rose turned from his minstrelsy	E
And hid in the leaves in wait for me	C
	-
The firefly came in the twilight dim	H
My red red rose to woo	I
Till quenched was the flame of love in him	H
And the light of his lantern too	I
As my rose wept with dewdrops three	C
And hid in the leaves in wait for me	C
	-
And I said I will cull my own sweet rose	E
Some day I will claim as mine	J
The priceless worth of the flower that knows	E
No change but a bloom divine	J
The bloom of a fadeless constancy	C
That hides in the leaves in wait for me	C
	-
But time passed by in a strange disguise	E
And I marked it not but lay	C
In a lazy dream with drowsy eyes	E
Till the summer slipped away	C
And a chill wind sang in a minor key	C
'Where is the rose that waits for thee '	-
	-
	-
	-
I dream to day o'er a purple stain	B
Of bloom on a withered stalk	K
Pelted down by the autumn rain	B
In the dust of the garden walk	K
That an Angel rose in the world to be	C
Will hide in the leaves in wait for me	C
