Roses(B) 1904

James Pitt-Payne and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 11 Nov 2002

I send thee red, red roses,
To tell thee of the morn,
When first among the roses
Our happy love was born,
Our happy love was born.
I send thee white, white roses,
To tell thee of the night;
The night in all its beauty,
With all its dreams and light,
The night in all its beauty,
With all its dreams and light,
With all its dreams and light.
And when thou seest the roses,
This will the roses say,
There is no day without thee,
No night when thou'rt away,
No night when thou'rt away;
No day I do not love thee,
No night I do not pray
That God will bless and guard thee,
For ever, night and day!
That God will bless and guard thee,
For ever, night and day!
For ever, night and day!
