Joan Baez - Rose of Sharon lyrics

rate me

(Eliza Gilkyson)

I am 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 life 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 am 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 doth so embrace me

Oh bring me wine to pass the time

Though none 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 am your Rose of Sharon
