Wild roses (Macleod, set by F. Hart) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Against the dim hot summer blue
    Yon wave of white wild-roses lies,
    Watching with listless golden eyes
The green leaves shutting out their view,
    The tiny leaves whose motions bright
    Are like small wings of emerald light:

White butterflies like snow-flakes fall
And brown bees drone their honey-call.
