Wildwood Flower

Oh I'll twine with my mingles and raven black hair

With the roses so red and the lilies so fair

And the mirtles so bright with the emerald dew

The pale and the leader whose eyes look like blue

Oh I will dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay

I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway

When I woke from dreaming all my idols was clay

All portions of love have flown all away

Oh he taught me to love him and promised to love

And to cherish me over all others above

How my heart now is wondering, no misery can tell

He's left me no warning, no words of farewell

Oh he taught me to love him and call me his flower

That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour

Oh how long to see him, oh I regret the dark hour

He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower
