Wildwood Flower: |
version 1
I will twine and will mingles my raven black hair.
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair.
And the myrtle so bright in its emerald hue.
The pale emanita and islip so blue.
Oh he taught me to love him and called me his flower.
A blossom to cheer him through life’s weary hour.
How my heart is now wond'ring no misery can tell.
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell.
I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay.
I'll charm every heart, and the crowd I will sway.
oh, my heart is now breaking, he never shall know.
That his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow.
Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love.
And cherish me over all others a bove.
Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour.
He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flow'r.
I will twine and will mingles my raven black hair.
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair.
and The myrtle so bright in its emerald hue (dew).
the pale emanita and islip so blue.
