Josephine Foster - The Pruner's Pair lyrics

One summer winter I fell down among the splinters Of a rose of the tree My true lover planted thee My true lover planted thee-- They them rose, four and twenty, Clustered in my heart as plenty Same the age you did fall And lie in heaven after all And lie in heaven after all-- Thorns will not embitter me Not your powers constancy Lead me to the pruner's pair Silent I will cut thee bare Silent I will cut thee bare--
