Rose of Allendale
Whispers of Love in Allendale's Embrace
Lyrics
The moon was bright, the night was clear
The night was clear with a bright moon and no sea breeze.
No breeze came over the sea
No wind was blowing over the sea.
When mary left her highland home
Mary left her home in the highlands.
And wandered forth with me
She wandered with the speaker.
The flowers be-decked the mountainside
Flowers adorned the mountainside.
And fragrance filled the vale
The air was filled with fragrance in the valley.
But by far the sweetest flower there
The sweetest flower was the rose of Allendale.
Was the rose of allendale
Highlighting the significance of the rose in Allendale.
Oh the rose of allendale
Reiteration of the beauty of the rose of Allendale.
Sweet rose of allendale
Emphasizing the sweetness of the rose.
By far the sweetest flower there
Reaffirmation of the rose's exceptional beauty.
Was the rose of allendale
Restating the uniqueness of the rose of Allendale.
Where e'er I wandered east or west
Regardless of the direction the speaker traveled.
Though fate began to lour
Despite adversity looming in fate.
A solace still was she to me
Mary provided comfort in times of sorrow.
In sorrow's lonely hour
During lonely hours of sadness.
When tempests lashed our lonely barque
Referring to challenges faced on a ship.
And rent her quivering sail
The storm damaged the ship's sail.
One maiden's form withstood the storm
A single maiden, the rose, endured the storm.
'twas the rose of allendale
Reiterating the resilience of the rose of Allendale.
Oh sweet rose of allendale
Repetition of the sweetness and significance of the rose.
Sweet rose of allendale
Emphasizing the sweetness of the rose of Allendale.
One maiden's form withstood the storm
Highlighting the rose's strength in adversity.
'twas the rose of allendale
Reaffirmation of the resilience of the rose.
And when my fever'd lips were parched
During a time in Africa with parched lips.
On afric's burning sands
Recollection of Mary's comforting words.
She whispered hopes of happiness
She spoke of hope and distant lands.
And tales of distant lands
Providing solace and dreams during difficult times.
My life has been a wilderness
The speaker's life has been challenging.
Unblessed by fortune's wheel
Not favored by fortune.
Had fate not linked my love to hers
Fate has connected the speaker's love to the rose of Allendale.
The rose of allendale
Reiteration of the rose's significance in the speaker's life.
Oh sweet rose of allendale
Reaffirming the sweetness and importance of the rose.
Sweet rose of allendale
Emphasizing the sweet nature of the rose of Allendale.
Had fate not linked my love to hers
Underlining the connection of fate between the speaker and the rose.
The rose of allendale
Final acknowledgment of the significance of the rose of Allendale.
