This is the song Kahlan sings to Ren in the series Legend of the seeker. Someone continued the text . This version is shortened a bit but longer than the first version I uploaded. My sister took the first voice and found two other voices. First she only played chords to accompany this. After the second stanza a violin starts playing, after the third a cello and for the last a viola.
The text of this version is:
White grows the lily, red grows the rose
Here lies my laddie, look how he grows
One day he'll leave me, to cross shadowed seas
Pray god protected him, keep him safe with me
Rose shows its wisdoms, from love lost on youth
Protector of passions and soldier of truth
For royal resplendence I bow to its bloom
But thorns rest beneat it, and there lies my doom
(violin enters)
Lily knows little, but innocence scorned
On banner of blood shed for villians adorned
like pale ghosts in moonlight, I fear for their fate
to grow on a gravesite, may yet be too late
(cello enters)
This garden is weary, its soil is tolled
Of deacades in termoil, its left bled for gold
My son is a child, but man he'll soon be
with red rose upon him, he'll die by lily
(viola enters)
White grows the lily, red grows the rose
Here lay my laddie, how the wind blows!
Now he has left me, to cross shadowed seas
Pray god protect him, keep him safe for me
