Duncan Campbell Scott - Three Songs

Duncan Campbell Scott - Three Songs

I br br Where love is life br The roses blow, br Though winds be rude br And cold the snow, br The roses climb br Serenely slow, br They nod in rhyme br We know--we know br Where love is life br The roses blow. br br Where life is love br The roses blow, br Though care be quick br And sorrows grow, br Their roots are twined br With rose-roots so br That rosebuds find br A way to show br Where life is love br The roses blow. br br br II br br Nothing came here but sunlight, br Nothing fell here but rain, br Nothing blew but the mellow wind, br Here are the flowers again! br br No one came here but you, dear, br You with your magic train br Of brightness and laughter and lightness, br Here is my joy again! br br br III br br I have songs of dancing pleasure, br I have songs of happy heart, br Songs are mine that pulse in measure br To the throbbing of the mart. br br Songs are mine of magic seeming, br In a land of love forlorn, br Where the joys are had for dreaming, br At a summons from the horn. br br But my sad songs come unbidden, br Rising with a wilder zest, br From the bitter pool that's hidden, br Deep--deep--deep within my breast.
