Joan Baez - Rose Of Sharon Lyrics

Artist: Joan Baez

Album: Day After Tomorrow

Genre: Folk

  • Also in:

(Eliza Gilkyson)

I am a rose of Sharon
A lily of the valley
As a lily grown among the thorns
Love in this world has found me
As an apple tree among the trees
That grow deep in the forest
My lover's form in comely
With life and limb most joyous

Rise up my love and come away
The rain is over and gone
Your love is the fruit of my darkest day
And I am your Rose of Sharon

His gentle hand lies under my head
His shoulders turn to face me
I shall not stir him from my bed
While he doth so embrace me
Oh bring me wine to pass the time
Though none but him can soothe me
I am my beloved's and he is mine
Desire for his pleasure moves me

Rise up my love and come away
The rain is over and gone
Your love is the fruit of my darkest day
And I am your Rose of Sharon
