White Rose lyrics

We all turned home, so sad and forlorn Home was so empty and so all alone We're thinking of mother in her lonely grave All be brought back was this rose from her grave(often also breast) In the old family bible, this flower is pressed In the old family graveyard our mother's at rest We'll keep as a token, of the love that she gave This beautiful white rose I took from her grave (or breast) We miss our darling, our mother so dear And all of her prayers, that we used to hear We'll keep as a token, of the love that she gave This beautiful white rose I took from her grave.
