The Rose Of Allendale
Blooms of Love: A Highland Tale in Melody
Lyrics
The morn was fair, the skies were clear, no breath came o'er the sea
The morning was pleasant, the skies were clear, and there was no wind over the sea.
When Marie left her highland home, and wandered forth with me
Marie left her home in the highlands and joined me on a journey.
Though flowers decked, the mountain side, and fragrance filled the vale
Although the mountain was adorned with flowers, and the valley was filled with fragrance.
By far the sweetest flower there, was the rose o' Allendale
The sweetest flower among them all was the rose of Allendale.
Was the rose o' Allendale, was the rose o' Allendale
Reiteration of the beauty of the rose of Allendale.
By far the sweetest flower there, was the rose o' Allendale
Repetition emphasizing the exceptional beauty of the rose of Allendale.
Where'er I wandered east or west, tho' faith began to lour
Regardless of where I traveled, even in difficult times, she brought comfort to me.
A solace still she was to me, in sorrow's lonely hour
She remained a source of solace to me during moments of loneliness and sorrow.
When tempest lashed our lonely barque, and rent her shivering sail
During a storm that battered our ship, one maiden's presence stood strong—the rose of Allendale.
One maiden's form withstood the storm, was the rose o' Allendale
Reaffirmation of the resilience and strength of the rose of Allendale during the storm.
Was the rose o' Allendale, was the rose o' Allendale
Reiteration of the exceptional qualities of the rose of Allendale.
By far the sweetest flower there, was the rose o' Allendale
Emphasis on the unmatched sweetness of the rose of Allendale.
Was the rose o' Allendale, was the rose o' Allendale
Repetition underscoring the unparalleled beauty of the rose of Allendale.
By far the sweetest flower there, was the rose o' Allendale
Reiteration of the exceptional sweetness of the rose of Allendale.
And when my fever'd lips were parched, on Afric's burning sands
During challenging times in Africa, she provided comfort by sharing hopes and stories of distant lands.
She whispered hopes of happiness, and tales of distant lands
She offered words of encouragement and tales of happiness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
My life has been a wilderness, unblessed by fortune's gale
The speaker reflects on a life filled with challenges, but the connection to the rose of Allendale has been a guiding force.
Had faith not linked my lot to hers, the rose o' Allendale
Had it not been for the enduring faith linking their destinies, life would have been a wilderness.
Was the rose o' Allendale, was the rose o' Allendale
Reiteration of the exceptional qualities of the rose of Allendale.
By far the sweetest flower there, was the rose o' Allendale
Emphasis on the unmatched sweetness of the rose of Allendale.
Was the rose o' Allendale, was the rose o' Allendale
Repetition underscoring the unparalleled beauty of the rose of Allendale.
By far the sweetest flower there, was the rose o' Allendale
Emphasis on the exceptional sweetness of the rose of Allendale.
