Such Sweet Alarms

How does a bride's maid lead her groom?
 How can she tell when it's too soon?
 He tells her such loving words
 They're just like those bees and birds
 Making love so high
 They may forget to fly
 And fall down in each other's arms
 What a handsome sight
 Of love that falls from flight
 And birds that sing such sweet alarms
 Out of the darkened winter's gloom
 How does a rosebud come to bloom?
 Tucked down in their forest beds
 Too young rosebuds lose their heads
 Making love so soon
 They may too early bloom
 And freeze before they know the cost
 What a handsome scene
 When love won't wait for spring
 And rosebuds frozen in the frost
 How does a bride's maid lead her groom?
 God can you send me some one soon?
 Roses bound up in a vase
 Rooms decked out in silk and lace
 Handsome children and
 The food to fill them and
 The love to freeze up all my fears
 Fancy golden ring
 And birds that love to sing
 To fill this silence in my ears
