Celtic Woman The Last Rose Of Summer Lyrics

The Last Rose Of Summer Lyrics

'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone

All her lovely companions
are faded and gone

No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh

To
reflect back her blushes and 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 scentless and dead



So soon may
I follow when friendships decay

And from love's shining circle the gems
drop away

When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown

Oh
who would inhabit this bleak world alone?

This bleak world alone
