the jasmine white To the roses comes greeting, To the roses comes greeting, By flower banks, fresh and bright, On the flow'rd bank, gay in morning light, Come, and join we their meeting. Come, and join we their meeting. Ah! we'll glide with the tide, Slowly on we'll glide floating with the tide, On we'll ride away; On the stream we'll ride away; Through wavelets shimm'ring brightly, Through wavelets shimm'ring brightly, Carelessly rowing lightly, Carelessly rowing lightly, Reach we the steeps We'll reach soon the steeps Where the birds warble, Where the fountain sleeps. warble, the birds sprightly. Where warble the birds sprightly. 'Neath the dome rowers unite, 'Neath the leafy dome, where the jasmine white, Come and join we their meeting! Ah! come join we their meeting!
