I'm a rose of Sharon A Lily of the valley As a lily grown among the thorns Love in this world has found me As an apple tree among the trees That grow deep in the forest My lover's form in comely With live and limb most joyous Rise up my love and come away The rain is over and gone Your love is the fruit of my darkest day And I'm your Rose of Sharon His gentle hand lies under my head His shoulders turn to face me I shall not stir him from my bed While he does so embrace me Oh bring me wine to pass the time Though non but him can soothe me I am my beloved's and he is mine Desire for his pleasure moves me Rise up my love and come away The rain is over and gone Your love is the fruit of my darkest day And I'm your Rose of Sharon
