Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Shall I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire
At thy will.
Love, love, love, love
Love is the gospel of the world
Love thy neighbor as thy brother
Love, love, love.
America, America
How can I tell you how I feel?
You have given me many treasures
I love you so.
[At PV these three verses are sung through in order, and then the singers split into three groups- The first group starts the first verse, and as they start their second line, the second group comes in with the first line of the second verse, and so on, creating a lovely fugue which continues through 3 repeats. All voices come in for the last line "I love you so." A 4th verse appears to this song occasionally elsewhere, for which a common variation is included here.]
Peace, peace, peace, peace
Wars may come, and wars will cease
We must learn to live with each other
Peace, peace, peace.
