WHO'LL PLANT ROSES :

Who'll plant roses on my grave,
Yes when am dead and gone,
And bring some sweet memento there,
Wet with the tears of early dawn?
Who'll kneel beside the lonely spot,
When gentle twilight glories reign,
And in the deep profound Of love
Would WOO my spirit back again Z
When Spring unfolds her vernal store,
And nature dons her brightest bloom,
Will some angelic form be found
In pity weeping DER my tomb2
In all the seasons Of the year,
From budding flowers TO winters blight,
When plenty smiles, or fortune frowns,
Will keep the garner'd treasure bright
Aye, when the golden fruit is ripe,
And hangs luxuriant from the tree,
Deep down in her heart of hearts,
Will cherish some sweet thought for me
Who'll come when tuneful birds
Marble forth their grateful lays,
And spread tho mantle er my wrongs,
And not withhold the need of praise
Yes, when all the flowers are dead,
And the green trees no longer wave,
When Spring returns, | know of "ono'
who'll plant roses on my grave.
