Kingswood - Wildwood Flower lyrics
[Kingswood - Wildwood Flower lyrics]
Oh, I'll twine 'mid the ringlets
My raven black hair the lilies so pale
And the roses so fair the myrtle so bright
With an emerald hue pale aronatus
With eyes of bright blue
I'll sing, and I'll dance
My laugh shall be gay
I'll cease this wild weeping
Drive sorrow away
Tho' my heart is now breaking
He never shall know
That his name made me tremble
My pale cheeks to glow
He told me he loved me and promis'd to love
Through ill and misfortune all others above
Another has won him ah, misery to tell
He left me in silence no word of farewell
He taught me to love him
He call'd me his flower
That blossom'd for him
All the brighter each hour
But, I woke from my dreaming
My idol was clay my visions of love
Have all faded away
My raven black hair the lilies so pale
And the roses so fair the myrtle so bright
With an emerald hue pale aronatus
With eyes of bright blue
I'll sing, and I'll dance
My laugh shall be gay
I'll cease this wild weeping
Drive sorrow away
Tho' my heart is now breaking
He never shall know
That his name made me tremble
My pale cheeks to glow
He told me he loved me and promis'd to love
Through ill and misfortune all others above
Another has won him ah, misery to tell
He left me in silence no word of farewell
He taught me to love him
He call'd me his flower
That blossom'd for him
All the brighter each hour
But, I woke from my dreaming
My idol was clay my visions of love
Have all faded away
