In an All Old Rose
I dreamed you were dressed in an all old rose,
So sadly I kissed you while my soul was reposed,
I dreamed that you promised some day you’d be mine.
I dreamed heaven blessed our love divine,
Gone art that night to where no one knows,
But I’ll n’er forget you, dressed in that all old rose.
You gladden my heart while love breezes blew,
I know not where my sorrow then flew,
Maybe into lands where love ne’er grows
To tell you dressed in an all old rose.
