HAUENSTEIN & SON The Corner Drug Store In Memoriam MY ROSE My rose is white, your rose is red Your mother lives but mine is dead. And looking on your red, red rose, Which you wear, ah, so happily I wish some lucky wind that blows Would bring my mother back to me, That I might take her hand again And press it so tenderly. I would dry the tears and ease the pain That in her life she bore for me. That change is yours, not mine to night Your rose is red, but mine is white. Your rose is red and mine is white And yet when I kneel down tonight To say my prayers as shadows creep “Now I lay me down to sleep” The same sweet prayer I used to know And love in days of long ago My mother will come back to me My head will rest upon her knee, Her hand will soothe my furrowed brow And I will know, someway, some how, My mother lives, she is not dead And my white rose will turn to red.
