amy beach - the rose of avon-town, op. 30 lyrics
once bloomed a rose in avontown
a rose as red as the morning
its th+rns were sharp, but its heart was gold
and diamond dewdrops its cup did hold
a rose, for a bride’s adorning
a bride there was in avontown
the bride of a bright june morning
the lovely rose she chanced to see
and said, tis an emblem of what my life will be
i’ll pluck it for my adorning
spake the bride of avontown:
for the th+rns are for grief and mourning
with a petal for youth and one for health
and another for fame, and two for wealth
with the heart for love, life’s adorning
now as she was wed in avontown
in the blush of the bright june morning
the rose’s red petals all fell away
and naught but the th+rny stem did stay
with the heart of gold, adorning
the bride waxed old in avontown
the bride of the bright june morning
her rosy dreams long flown away
but happy was she though bent and gray
love stayed, her life adorning
