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.
