letra de old fashioned roses - jennifer higdon

they ain’t no style about ’em
and they’re sorto’ pale and faded
yit the doorway here, without ’em
would be lonesomer, and shaded
with a good ‘eal blacker shudder
than the morning-glories makes
and the sunshine would look sadder
fer their good old-fashion’ sakes

i like ’em ’cause they kindo’–
sorto’ make a feller like ’em!
and i tell you, when i find a
bunch out whur the sun kin strike ’em
it allus sets me thinkin’
o’ the ones ‘at used to grow
and peek in thro’ the ch-nkin’
o’ the cabin, don’t you know!
and then i think o’ mother
and how she ust to love ’em–
when they wuzn’t any other
‘less she found ’em up above ’em!
and her eyes, afore she shut ’em
whispered with a smile and said
we must pick a bunch and putt ’em
in her hand when she wuz dead

but as i wuz a-sayin’
they ain’t no style about ’em
very gaudy er displayin’
but i wouldn’t be without ’em–
’cause i’m happier in these posies
and the hollyhawks and sich
than the hummin’-bird ‘at noses
in the roses of the rich
