Nina Simone - The Last Rose of Summer lyrics

[Nina Simone - 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
Or give sigh for sigh

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
