Wildwood Flower

Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
 With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
 And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue
 The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue.
 Oh I'll 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 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 wond'ring no mis'ry 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
 Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour
 He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower...
