Oh I'll twine with my mingles and wavin' black hair,
with the roses so red and the lilies so far,
and the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew,
the pale and the leader, and eyes look like blue.
I will, dance I will sing, and my laugh shall be gay,
I will charm every heart and each crowd I will sway,
when I woke from my dreamin' my idols were clay,
all portion of love, had all flown away,
oh he taught me to love him promised to love,
and to charish me over all others above,
how my heart is now wonderin', 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 flow'r,
that was bloomin' to cheer him through lifes dreary hour,
how I long to see him and regret the dark hour,
he's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flow'r
