Love
To the Valley
From Embers (1895)
Love
Come hither, oh come hither,
There’s a bride upon her bed;
They have strewn her o’er with roses,
There are roses ‘neath her head:
Life is love and tears and laughter,
But the laughter it is dead--
Sing the way to the Valley, to the Valley--
Hey, but the roses they are red!
