144. Roses And Violets

1 Roses in bloom,
Roses in bloom,
Pour incense on the air!
Filling the room,
Filling the room,
With perfume rich and rare!
Drink the sweetness of their breath,
Ere they fade and fall in death;
Roses in bloom,
Filling the room
With perfume rich and rare!

2 Violets pale,
Violets pale
Their beauty hide away;
Wearing a veil,
Wearing a veil
Beneath the eye of day!
Blooming in their sweetness there,
'Mid the ferns and mosses fair;
Violets pale,
Wearing a veil
Beneath the eye of day!
