[Verse] Alas! Flowers and winters breath, soon must feel the Frigid wind, that fierce and dastardly blows Pray I, the mildest winter, on knees I kneel Begging for Spring, when fantastic green shows. The Red rose, [Verse 2] Shall I, for deepest beauty thus reward A plastic cover to thy life extend For here blasting winter chill 'tis so hard Harsh reality, let us not pretend! for Red rose, thy bright song must, for a time end. Solemn vow held as, my magnificent friend! [Chorus] sing me a sweeter melody Of paradise that hold Spring all the year Casting winter's fangs into darkest sea Allaying this man's dreaded icy fears. [Outro]
