Throw Me A Rose 1915 'Little Miss Springtime'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Mar 2005

I can hear the thunder
of that great strange world of wonder
like a voice out in the distance
that is calling me,
Ever growing stronger
as it bids me wait no longer
beating down my poor resistance
as it shouts: "Be free!"
Come away, I can hear it say
Haste the joys and beauties
that the world can give;
night and day that voice I hear
ringing, singing in my ear
calling to me leave this
gloomy round of care.
Come where Fame's awaiting you
roses in your path they'll strew
in that great big world out there.

Throw me a rose.
one crimson rose
red as the sky when sunset glows,
Rosika dear your lattice unclose,
throw me, love, a red, red rose,
Throw me a rose, one crimson rose,
red as the sky when sunset glows.
Rosika dear, your lattice unclose,
throw me, love, a red, red rose.

I can hear the thunder
of that great strange world of wonder
like a voice out in the distance
that is calling me,
Ever growing stronger
as it bids me wait no longer
beating down my poor resistance
as it shouts: "Be free!"
Come away, I can hear it say
Haste the joys and beauties
that the world can give;
night and day that voice I hear
ringing, singing in my ear
calling to me leave this
gloomy round of care.
Come where Fame's awaiting you
roses in your path they'll strew
in that great big world out there.

Throw me a rose.
one crimson rose
red as the sky when sunset glows,
Rosika dear your lattice unclose,
throw me, love, a red, red rose,
Throw me a rose, one crimson rose,
red as the sky when sunset glows.
Rosika dear, your lattice unclose,
throw me, love, a red, red rose.
