Love's Garden of Roses - 1914

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 09 Mar 2002

Come, dearest heart, 'mid the flow'rs of June,
Come out in my garden so gay,
I've roses, bright roses of ev'ry hue,
And sunshine for the whole day.
There is laughter and song in my garden,
And a spell over all the land,
Ah! never a fairer world could be,
To wander hand in hand.
Come to my garden of roses,
Winds whisper low,
Ne'er was so sweet a garden
With love aglow.
Laughter and love in the sunshine,
Joys all divine,
Come, oh come to my garden,
Dearest heart of mine
Come, dearest heart, where the flow'rs enfold
A dream that is tender and true.
'Tis here he may find in a roses heart,
A message glad for me and you.
There is laughter and song in my garden
And such bliss that our hearts can tell,
In the world we walk together,
Where love alone doth dwell
Come to my garden of roses,
Winds whisper low,
Ne'er was so sweet a garden
With love aglow.
Laughter and love in the sunshine,
Joys all divine,
Come, oh come to my garden,
Come dearest heart of mine.
