Lo how a rose ere blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming
As men of old have sung.
It came a floweret bright
Amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the night.
Isaiah twas foretold it
The rose I have in mind
With Mary we behold it
The virgin mother kind.
To show God’s love aright
She bore to men a savior
When half spent was the night.
The song is about the Statue of Liberty but I will select “Yankee Rose” by David Lee Roth since nothing else immediately comes to mind.

Thank you, I appreciate it!
Hi AZ, Kathy.
“Lily of the West.” Haunting. Any version is good — Nana Mouskouri was excellent.
Roses Are Red
A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way:
“Jane Fondas red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Stalin is dead, my love.
I wish that she were, too.”
We dated through high school
And when the big day came
I wrote into your book
Next to my name:
“Jane Fondas red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Stalin is dead, my love.
I wish that she were, too.”
Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter, dear
And I wrote back to you:
“Jane Fondas red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Stalin is dead, my love.
I wish that you were, too.”
Is that your little girl?
She doesnt look at all like Jane.
Someday some boy will write
Next to her name:
“Jane Fondas red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Stalin is dead, my love.
Im glad that she is, too.”
Thanks Kathy. I haven’t heard that recording in well over 20 years. I thought copyright laws stood in the way.
This is a fine song, written in an olde genteel style.

Good choice!
God bless my Ma. From the top of her head to the soles of her blessed feet. She is a real gem. There’s no equal to her love and caring ways.
God bless my Ma!
