Dylan Perez and Jess Dandy - Three Songs, Op. 45: I. Now Have I Fed and Eaten Up the Rose

Now have I fed and eaten up the rose
Which then she laid within my stiffcold hand
That I should ever feed upon a rose
I never had believed in liveman's land

Only I wonder was it white or red
The flower that in the darkness my food has been
Give us, and if Thou give, thy daily bread
Deliver us from evil, Lord, Amen
