Red veils sewn with gold the maidens wear.
Oh, the merry hours
Midst the maids and flowers!
Tell us, which of these twain is most fair?
CHORUS OF BOYS.
O golden bud!
Spotless without thou art,
Sin--stained within, like blood--
So woman's heart.
Red veils sewn with gold the maidens wear.
Oh, the merry hours
Midst the maids and flowers!
Tell us, which of these twain is most fair?
O golden bud!
Spotless without thou art,
Sin--stained within, like blood--
So woman's heart.
