Wildwood Flower |
I will twine with your mingles of raven black hair |
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair |
With myrtle as bright as the emerald dew |
The pale and the lyd-er and eyes of light blue |
Oh he promised to love me; |
he promised to love |
And to cherish me always all others above |
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay |
My passion for loving had vanished away |
Oh he taught me to love him; |
he called me his flower |
A blossom to cheer him through life’s weary hour |
But now he is gone and left me alone |
The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to mourn |
I will dance and i’ll sing and my life shall be gay |
I will charm every heart and each crown I shall sway |
Though my heart now is breaking he never shall know |
How his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow |
I will dance and i’ll sing and my heart will be gay |
I’ll banish this weeping, drive troubles away |
I’ll live yet to see him regret this dark hour |
When we won and neglected this frail wildwood flower |
