Ah! May The Red Rose Live Always - Thomas Hampson[00:00:00]
Ah! may the red rose live always,[00:00:20]
To smile upon earth and sky![00:00:26]
Why should the beautiful ever weep?[00:00:32]
Why should the beautiful die?[00:00:39]
Lending a charm to every ray[00:00:45]
That falls on her cheeks of light,[00:00:50]
Giving the zephyr kiss for kiss,[00:00:54]
And nursing the dew-drop bright --[00:00:59]
Ah! may the red rose live always,[00:01:09]
To smile upon earth and sky![00:01:15]
Why should the beautiful ever weep?[00:01:21]
Why should the beautiful die?[00:01:28]
Long may the daisies dance the field,[00:01:57]
Frolicking far and near![00:02:03]
Why should the innocent hide their heads?[00:02:08]
Why should the innocent fear?[00:02:15]
Spreading their petals in mute delight[00:02:21]
When morn in its radiance breaks,[00:02:26]
Keeping a floral festival[00:02:31]
Till the night-loving primrose wakes --[00:02:35]
Long may the daisies dance the field,[00:02:45]
Frolicking far and near![00:02:51]
Why should the innocent hide their heads?[00:02:56]
Why should the innocent fear?[00:03:04]
Lulled be the dirge in the cypress bough,[00:03:31]
That tells of departed flowers![00:03:38]
Ah! that the butterfly's gilded wing[00:03:45]
Fluttered in evergreen bowers![00:03:52]
Sad is my heart for the blighted plants --[00:03:58]
Its pleasures are aye as brief --[00:04:04]
They bloom at the young year's joyful call,[00:04:08]
And fade with the autumn leaf:[00:04:14]
Ah! may the red rose live always[00:04:26]
To smile upon earth and sky![00:04:35]
Why should the beautiful ever weep?[00:04:42]
Why should the beautiful die?[00:04:50]
