Rose Of An Hour
Composer(s): Percy Edgar; Harry Scott



I stand in the garden of loveland
Unwanted and all alone
Why did you make me care for you? 
Ah, had I only known

The bee to the blushing red rosebud
Still whispers his messages true
But here I wait a faded rose
Ne'er comes a sign from you

The rose of an hour was my love for you
You took it then cast it aside 
I must regret and I know you'll forget 
Tho' you called me your joy and pride
At first when we met you were good and true
But now we have drifted apart
The rose of an hour was my love for you
And the thorn still remains in my heart
