lyrics

* AS THE SUN

Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a young maid sing in the valley below
Oh don’t deceive me oh never leave me
How could you use a poor maiden so
Remember the vows that you made, you made to me truly
Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me
Gay is the garland - so fresh are the roses
I’ve culled from the garden to bind over thee
Here now as I wander alone & I wonder
Why did you leave me to sigh and complain
& I ask of the roses why should I be forsaken
& why must I here in sorrow remain
