Low Among the Roses ~ Catherine Faber

Will sang sweet as a courting dove 
Shy as a doe was Mhari's love 
She never dared her heart to show 
Low among the roses oh, 

Low among the roses 
Low among the roses 
She never dared her heart to show* 
Low among the roses oh. 

When Will would sing a courting song 
Mhari used to sing along 
Their voices danced where the willows grow 
Low among the roses oh, 

Willie said as spring drew near 
"Friendship cannot keep me here 
To seek my fortune I mean to go" 
Low among the roses oh. 

There they said their brief goodbyes; 
Her heart spoke only from her eyes 
He left her there with her head bowed low 
Low among the roses oh. 

Love that will not speak its name 
Only has itself to blame. 
I'll not end like Mhari, no 
Low among the roses oh.

I do not own the rights to this song :)
