The Moon Is Down Lyrics

Gather the rosebuds while you may

Tis winter now and far too late to bloom them now

For autumn came with only grief

But winter's here with love and delight

When the moon is down

And the night has come to claim us one by one

Then we will walk into the dark

And dance beneath the light of day

If I should die before I wake, pray let me dream

Of sunshine and of all that's right

Let me not see the shadows of death

But your flowers can stay and rest

Gather the rosebuds while they're here

Don't ask for them in Springtime when

They have flown away

When the moon is down

And the night has come to claim us one by one

Then we will walk into the dark

And dance beneath the light of day

Gather the rosebuds while they're here

Don't ask for them in Springtime when
