From the red rose

M. Carmichael

From the red rose to the apple-blossom,

From the apple-blossom to the blue sky,

Looking up still in the spring-tide,

When none else is by,

For a love born

On a May morn,

Long, long ago, I sigh.

From the blue sky to the apple-blossom,

And the roses in row,

Looking down still in the spring-tide,

Through my garden I go,

For a love lost

In a spring frost,

Singing Heigh ho, heigh ho!
