The Last Rose Of Summer |
| ‘Tis the last rose of summer |
| Left blooming all alone, |
| All her lovely companions |
| Are faded and gone. |
| No flower of her kindred, |
| No rose bud is nigh, |
| To reflect back her blushes, |
| And give sigh for sigh. |
| I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one, |
| To pine on the stem. |
| Since the lovely are sleeping, |
| Go sleep now with them. |
| Thus kindly I scatter |
| Thy leaves o’er the bed |
| Where thy mates of the garden |
| Lie scentless and dead. |
| So soon may I follow |
| When friendships decay, |
| And from love’s shining circle |
| The gems drop away! |
| When true hearts lie withered |
| And fond ones are flown |
| Oh! |
| Who would inhabit |
| This bleak world alone? |
