Sweet Sister Temperance 歌词

Sweet Sister Temperance She of the model-hearted innocence So eloquent in her mute despair With two smooth bands of reddish hair By some freak of fortune She fainted while baking in the kitchen Overturning all her merry schemes For great and small and all things in between For future and happiness In a knot of blue field violets For her glory and her power She found in her final hour The great and small and all in between Sweet Sister Temperance She of the model-hearted innocence So eloquent in her mute despair With two smooth bands of reddish hair Oh, can see the consequence Of her endless virtue is penitence In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed With two smooth bands of reddish hair "Poor defeated, I" she cried, "keep green in memory" "Poor defeated, I" she cried, "keep green in memory" We had just laid out the garden Handsome more so now than ever And exquisite cleanness showing In diamond square She kept us enraptured Gently captured by her tender emotion Wildflowers growing, we strode a moonlit path In silent pairs But sweet Sister Temperance She of the model-hearted innocence So eloquent in her mute despair With two smooth bands of reddish hair Oh, can see the consequence Of her endless virtue is penitence In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed With two smooth bands of reddish hair In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed With two smooth bands of reddish hair Home is so far from home Home is so far from home Home is so far from home
