Song

WHEN the roses blow
Man looks out for brighter hours;

"When the roses glow
Hope relights her lampless bowers.
Much that seemed in Winter's gloom

Dark with heavy woe,
"Wears a gladsome hue and bloom

When the roses blow —

When the roses blow —
Wears a gladsome hue and bloom

When the roses blow.

When the roses blow
Love, that slept, shall wake anew:

Merrier blood shall flow
Through the springald's veins of blue;
And if Sorrow wrang the heart

Even that shall go; —
Pain and Mourning must depart

When the roses blow —

When the roses blow —
Pain and Mourning must depart

When the roses blow.

"When the roses blow
Look to heaven, my fainting soul!

There, in stainless show,
Spreads the veil that hides thy goal.
Not while Winter breathes his blight

Burst thy bonds below!
Let the Earth look proud and bright,

Let the roses blow!

Let the roses blow!
O, let Earth look proud and bright!

Let the roses blow!
