[Intro]
G A D G A D
[Verse 1]
D D7 G
There's a bower of roses by Bendemeer's stream
A D
And the nightingale sings round it all the day long
D D7 G
In the time of my childhood it was like a sweet dream
A D
To sit in the roses and hear the bird's song
[Chorus]
A D
That bower and its music I'll never forget
D7 E A
But oft when alone in the bloom of the year
D D7 G
I think is the nightingale singing there yet
A A7 D
Are the roses still bright by the calm Bendemeer
[Instrumental]
G A D G A D
[Verse 2]
D D7 G
No the roses soon wither'd that hung o'er the wave
A D
But some blossoms were gather'd while freshly they shone
D D7 G
And the dew was distill'd from their flowers they gave
A D
All the fragrance of summer when summer was gone
[Chorus]
A D
Thus memory draws from delight ere it dies
D7 E A
An essence that breathes of it many a year
D D7 G
Thus bright to my soul as it was then to my eyes
A A7 D
Is that bower on the banks of the calm Bendemeer
[Outro]
N.C. D
Are the roses still bright by the calm Bendemeer
