《The Crown of Roses》歌词

[00:00:00] When jesus christ was yet a child

[00:00:08] He had a garden small and wild

[00:00:16] Where in he cherished roses fair

[00:00:24] And wove them into garlands there

[00:00:31] Now as the summertime drew nigh

[00:00:39] There came a troop of children by

[00:00:48] And seeing roses on the tree

[00:00:56] With shouts they plucked them merrily

[00:01:02] Do you bind roses in your hair

[00:01:09] They cried in scorn to jesus there

[00:01:17] The boy said humbly take i pray

[00:01:25] All but the na ked thorns away

[00:01:33] Then of the thorns they made a crown

[00:01:40] And with rough fingers pressed it down

[00:01:48] Till on his forehead fair and young

[00:01:56] Red drops of blood like roses sprung
