a white rose, dew- sprinkled
i will ornament the hair with
to meet the dawn
quickly the sun to rise
to rise, to set
so i can go to the fountain

a white rose i will ornament with
a white rose with thorns
but beware you, beware
a white rose i will ornament with
a white rose with thorns
but beware you, beware

last night at the fountain
i met a swain in gilt**
with eyes black as olives
saddling a black, ,raven black horse
awesome words he spoke to me
he swore his love to me/2

a white rose i will ornament with
a white rose with thorns
but beware you, beware
a white rose i will ornament with
a white rose with thorns
but beware you, beware

i am a grown maiden already
i do not surrender easily
is this perhaps a deception
i will make some cunning attempts
i will test this swain
with a white rose in my hair/2

a white rose i will ornament with
a white rose with thorns
but beware you, beware
a white rose i will ornament with
a white rose with thorns
but beware you, beware

but beware you, beware
but beware you, beware
