Rose Of The World 1908 'Algeria'

In all the Sultan's gardens
are roses sweet and rare
and some are proud and royal
and some are soft and rare.
In all the Sultan's gardens
no rose is blooming now
as fragrant or as tender
as sweet and fair as thou.
My life I love thee
I'll love thee till the day
when from the skies,
the stars shall pass away.
My life I love thee
Rose of the World thou art,
and close thy tendrils
twine about my heart.
Ah dreary hours that pass
and leave me sad and lone,
while thee I wait
my dearest one, my own,
when I thy song at morning,
noon or night hear,
for thee I long
Ah! would that thou wert near,
thy song divine has made me thine.
My life I love thee
I'll love thee till the day
when from the skies
the stars shall pass away.
My life I love thee
Rose of the world thou art,
and close thy tendrils
twine about my heart.
