Last Rose of Summer
'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming aloneAll her lovely companions are faded and goneNo flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nighTo reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sighI'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stemSince the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with themThus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bedWhere thy mates of the garden lie scentless and deadSo soon may I follow when friendships decayAnd from love's shining circle the gems drop awayWhen true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flownOh who would inhabit this bleak world alone?This bleak world alone
