3
It's only a rose from my mother's grave
4
That I'd planted long long ago
5
I pulled it from a stem, where it used to wave
6
With a windward soft and low
7
It's only a flower white and so fair
8
That she used to love so well
9
Sweet were the perfume that filled the air
10
Round her grave down in the dell
11
It's only a rose, a fragrant white rose
12
That bloomed on my mother's grave
13
Peace to her soul and blessed reposed
14
With a bright rose above her way
15
Only a rose from my mother's grave
16
A flower she loved when here
17
I shall press it away in a book and save
18
Bloom will never end in years
19
For mother was like this snow white rose
20
Gentle at heart and lovely too
21
Soon came the twilight with repose
22
Angels made her bed and knew
23
Only a rose from my mother's grave
24
Kissed by dew from heaven up above
25
Over her form it used to wave
26
In its tenderness and love
27
Only a rose, but through the years
28
We've been in some hollow shrine
29
Often our eyes will fill with tears
30
Gazing on this flower divine
