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 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
stern,

Since the lovely are sleeping,

Go, sleep thou with them



Thus kindly I'll 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 wither'd

And fond ones are
flow'n

Oh! Who would inhabit

This bleak world alone?
