Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 29
Come and Meet Me, Rosa, Darling.
Copyright, 1880, by W. F. Shaw.
Written by Samuel N. Mitchell. Composed by William A. Huntley.
Come and meet me, Rosa, darling, when the evening shadows full,
I'll be waiting near the arbor by the lonely garden-wall.
Come when moonlight softly glimmers through the tops of yonder trees,
And the valley's fragrance mingles with the gentle evening breeze.
Chorus.
Come and meet me, Rosa, darling, when the evening's shadows fall,
I'll be waiting near the arbor by the lonely garden-wall.
There I'll tell you, Rosa, darling, while the merry crickets sing,
How I fondly love you, dearest, and the joy your glances bring;
There I'll offer tenner kisses to those lips of rosy hue,
While the purest love-light sparkles in your hazel eyes so true.- Chorus.
