The Crown of Roses - Sir David Willcocks, Tchaikovsky lyrics
He had a garden small and wild
Wherein he cherished roses fair
And wove them into garlands there
Now as the summertime drew nigh
There came a troop of children by
And seeing roses on the tree
With shouts they plucked them merrily
"Do you bind roses in your hair?"
They cried in scorn to Jesus there
The boy said humbly "Take I pray
All but the sharpest thorns away"
Then of the thorns they made a crown
And with rough fingers pressed it down
Till on his forehead fair and young
Red drops of blood like roses sprung
He had a garden small and wild
Wherein he cherished roses fair
