Roger Quilter - Tulips

Copied!
Bright tulips, we do know
You had your coming hither
And fading-time does show
That ye must quickly wither
Your sisterhoods may stay
And smile here for your hour;
But die ye must away
Even as the meanest flower
Come, virgins, then and see
Your frailties, and bemoan ye;
For, lost like these, 'twill be
As time had never known ye
You had your coming hither
And fading-time does show
That ye must quickly wither
Your sisterhoods may stay
And smile here for your hour;
But die ye must away
Even as the meanest flower
Come, virgins, then and see
Your frailties, and bemoan ye;
For, lost like these, 'twill be
As time had never known ye
