Last Rose of Summer lyrics
by Clannad
'tis the last rose of summer,Left blooming alone.All her lovely companionsAre faded and gone.No flow'r of her kindred,No rosebud is nigh,To reflect back her blushesOr give sigh for sigh.I'll not leave thee thou lone oneTo pine on the stem,Since the lovely are sleepingGo sleep thou with them;Thus kindly I scatterThy leaves o'er the bed,Where thy mates of the gardenLie scentless and dead.So soon may I followWhen friendships decay,And from loves' shining circleThe gems drop away!When true hearts lie witheredAnd fond ones are flownOh! who would inhabitThis bleak world alone?
