Wildwood Flower

I will twine with my mingles of raven-black hair With the roses so red and the lilies so fair The myrtle so bright with its emerald hue And the pale and the leader and eyes look so blue I will dance, I will sing and my life shall be gay I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway I woke from my dreamin', all idols was clay And all portions of lovin' had all flown away He taught me to love him and promised to love And cherish me over all others above My poor heart is wondering, no misery can tell He left me no warnin', no words of farewell He taught me to love him and called me his flower That was bloomin' to cheer him through life's weary hour How I long to see him and regret the dark hour He's gone and neglected, his frail wildwood flower
