The Last Rose Of Summer
(专辑: The Trees They Grow So High - 1988)
'Tis the
last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions are faded and gone; No flow'r of her kindred, No rosebud is nigh To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, To pine on the
stem; since the
lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them; Thus kindly I
scatter Thy leaves o'er the
bed Where thy mates of the
garden Lie senseless and dead. So soon may I
follow, When friendships decay, And from love's shining circle The
gems drop away! When true hearts lie wither'd, And fond ones are flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone?
