WILDWOOD FLOWER

Oh, I'll twine with my mingles And waving black hair With the roses so red And the lilies so fair And the myrtle so bright With the emerald dew The pale and the leader And eyes look like blue Instrumental Oh I'll dance, I will sing And my laugh shall be gay I will charm every heart In his crown I will sway When I woke from my dreaming My idols was clay All portions of love had all flown away Instrumental Oh he taught me to love him And promised to love And to cherish me over All others above How my heart is now wond'ring No misery can tell He's left me no warning No words of farewell Instrumental Oh, he taught me to love him And called me his flower That was blooming to cheer him Through life's dreary hour Oh, I long to see him And regret the dark hour He's gone and neglected This pale wildwood flower
