All alone I walked the garden,
So cold and windy were the skies,
The natural beauty which I did admire,
In these I beheld a beautiful rose,
As the winds did end,
Its waist turned in response.
In the street I walked,
Soon I saw a wondrous sight,
Beautiful rose smiled in distance,
My little girl in her prime,
So beautiful she kept her pride,
Peerless she was in her world,
The best of her type she eclipsed,
Sparkling like diamonds in her looks,
Her heart to me, pure like crystal,
Such a wonder in the earth.
My little girl to you I give my heart,
To see you in my dreams I will pay a price,
To hold your tender arms I shall kneel,
Take my hands oh my love.
My beautiful rose in the garden,
Among thy pears you are a light,
Sin thou would not embrace,
So holy your ways have been,
Keep thy blood line and shut thy door,
Oh my love,
My beautiful rose.
