How does a bride's maid lead her groom? How can she tell when it's too soon? He tells her such loving words They're just like those bees and birds Making love so high They may forget to fly And fall down in each other's arms What a handsome sight Of love that falls from flight And birds that sing such sweet alarms Out of the darkened winter's gloom How does a rosebud come to bloom? Tucked down in their forest beds Too young rosebuds lose their heads Making love so soon They may too early bloom And freeze before they know the cost What a handsome scene When love won't wait for spring And rosebuds frozen in the frost How does a bride's maid lead her groom? God can you send me some one soon? Roses bound up in a vase Rooms decked out in silk and lace Handsome children and The food to fill them and The love to freeze up all my fears Fancy golden ring And birds that love to sing To fill this silence in my ears
