That is how long ago it was when I sang this song to Betsy as she came down the aisle.
Arise, my love, my lovely one come,
The winter is past and the rains are gone.
The flowers appear it’s the season of song.
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.
Who is it that appears like the dawn,
as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun?
Show me your face, let me hear your voice,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.
Set me like a seal on your heart,
for love is unyielding as the grave.
The flash of it is a jealous fire,
no flood can quench for love is as strong as death.
Arise my love and come with me,
before the dawn breaks and the shadows flee.
You’ve ravished my heart with just one glance,
my beautiful one, arise and come with me.
Set me like a seal on your heart,
for love is unyielding as the grave.
The flash of it is a jealous fire,
no flood can quench for love is as strong as death.
Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Arise my love, my lovely one come,
the winter is past and the rains are gone,
the flowers appear it’s the season of song,
my beautiful one, arise and come with me.
I am my love’s my beloved is mine.
Arise and come with me.
