Chrysanthemum (November Carol)

1.

Chrysanthemum with petals, white

that radiate like rays of light;

to contemplate them makes me bright,

handsome Chrysanthemum.

2.

On a November, dark and drear;

your pure white petals give me cheer.

I’m always thankful that you’re there,

handsome Chrysanthemum.

Chorus:

Chrysanthemum;

Chrysanthemum,

this anthem is for you

in Autumns gloom

no other bloom

brings brightness like you do.

3.

The brighter months have many blooms

with merry colours and perfumes

but you shine through November gloom,

handsome Chrysanthemum.

4.

I’ll pick you and, in winter, keep

your white petals for when I weep

to lift me out of sorrow deep,

handsome Chrysanthemum.

Chorus:

Chrysanthemum;

Chrysanthemum,

this anthem is for you

in Autumns gloom

no other bloom

brings brightness as you do.
