Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and raven
black hair
With the roses so red and the lillies so
fair
And, the myrtle so bright with the emerald
hue
The pale and the leader and eyes of bright blue.
I will dance and I will sing and my laugh
shall be gay
I will charm every heart in his crown I
will sway
When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was
clay
All portion of love, had all flown away.
Oh, he taught me to love him and promised
to love
And to cherish me over all others above.
How my heart is now wandering no misery
can tell
He’s left me no warning, no words
of farewell.
Oh, he taught me to love him and called
me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life’s
dreary hour
How I long to see him and regret the dark
hour
He’s gone and neglected his pale Wildwood
Flower.
