George Morgan
The Convict and the Rose
Within my prison cell so dreary alone I sit with weary heartI'm thinking of my lonely darling from her forever I must partA rose she sent me as a token she sent it just to light my gloomTo tell me that her heart is broken to cheer me fore I meet my doomShe wrote I took it from the garden where once we wandered side by sideBut now you hold no hope of pardon and I can never be your brideGoodbye sweetheart for in the morning I'll meet my Maker in reposeAnd when I'll go at daylight's dawning against my heart they'll find the rose
