I am the Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys
I will spread my petals for the rays of sunshine
I will grow, oh, so beautiful, so ancient, and so golden
I charge you, oh, you daughters of Jerusalem
That by the roes and by the hinds, you wake my lover gently
He will grow, oh, so beautiful, so ancient, and will...
Walk in the golden waters ]
Walk in the golden waters ]
Walk in the gold and silver sea ] (Chorus)
I sat beneath his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste
And his banner flying over me was love
We will grow, oh, so beautiful, so ancient and so golden
Blood-red are the rags of leaves upon the elder trees
And moon-white are the stags that stand beneath our window
We will grow, oh, so beautiful, so ancient and will...
