Hayley Westenra - The Last Rose of Summer lyrics
[Hayley Westenra - The Last Rose of Summer lyrics]
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
Ill 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 oer the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead so soon may I follow
When friendships decay
And from loves shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown
Oh! Who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
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
Ill 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 oer the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead so soon may I follow
When friendships decay
And from loves shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown
Oh! Who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
