1880 or So

O rose of my heart, don't you see
I can't belong to misery
Though she speaks fine with subtle art
Such misery clothes the rose of my heart.
Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white
On a hill so white
A face that glows in a golden hue
No one in this world knows what they do
I take my oath and I make my vow
For the tender things are upon me now
In the fragrance sweet of the evening air
I could leave this world quite without a care
Without a care
Without a care

O rose of my heart, the vision dims
The time is brief, now the shadow swims,
A power for you, a real fine hat
Cause that's for you and that's where that's at.
Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white
On a hill so white
