Will You Bring Me Flowers Poem by Valerie Dohren

Oh will you bring me flowers
When I am laid to rest
Some pretty yellow flowers
To lay upon my breast

And will you bring me lilies
To place within my arms
Together with a red red rose
Enfolded in my palms

Then will you kiss my forehead
Your fingers touch my lips
Will you fondly stroke my hair
With all your fingertips

Oh will you always love me
Now I have passed away
Be forever in your heart
Until your dying day

Oh will you bring me flowers
A bouquet perfumed sweet
A garland set with jasmine white
To lay about my feet

And will you bring me roses
To show me all your love
A thousand red red roses
Sent up to heav'n above
