Lyrics
The sweetest flower that blows
I give you as we part
For you, it is a rose
For me, it is my heart
The fragrance it exhales
Ah! if you only knew
Which but in dying fails
It is my love for you
The sweetest flower that grows
I give you as we part
You think it but a rose
Ah me! it is my heart
You think it but a rose
Ah me! it is my heart
