[1] Oh I'll twine with my mingles and [5] wavin' black [1] hair
With the roses so red and the [5] lilies so [1] fair
And the mirtles so bright with the [4] emerald [1] dew
The pale and the leader and [5] eyes look like [1] blue

I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart in his crown I will sway
But I long to see him and regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower

Well he taught me to love him and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
He's left me no warning no words of farewell

Well he taught me to love him and call me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
How my heart is now wonderin' no misery can tell
He's left me no warning no words of farewell
