Gilbert and Sullivan — Fair is Rose as bright May-day

[Bridesmaids] Fair is Rose as bright May-day; Soft is Rose as the warm west-wind; Sweet is Rose as the new-mown hay — Rose is queen of maiden-kind! Rose, all glowing With virgin blushes, say — Is anybody going To marry you to-day? [Zorah] Every day, as the days roll on Bridesmaids' garb we gaily don Sure that a maid so fairly famed Can't long remain unclaimed Hour by hour and day by day Several months have passed away Though she's the fairest flower that blows No one has married Rose! [Bridesmaids] Rose, all glowing With virgin blushes, say — Is anybody going To marry you to-day? [Zorah] Hour by hour and day by day Months have passed away [Bridesmaids] Fair is Rose as bright May-day; Soft is Rose as the warm west-wind; Sweet is Rose as the new-mown hay — Rose is queen of maiden-kind! Rose, all glowing With virgin blushes, say — Is anybody going To marry you to-day? Fair is Rose Soft is Rose Rose is the Queen of Maidenkind!
