It was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast;
It was the time of roses
We pluck them as we passed
We pluck them as we passed

That churlish season never frowned
On early lovers yet:
Oh no the world was newly crowned
With flowers when first we met!

‘Twas twilight and I bid you go,
But still you held me fast;
It was the time of roses
We pluck them as we passed
We pluck them as we passed

What else could peer my glowing cheek
That tears began to stud
And when I asked the like of love
You snatched a damask bud
And oped it to the dainty core
Still glowing to the last
It was the time of roses
We plucked them as we passed
