Lyrics

[ti:the last rose of summer]
[ar:chloe agnew]
[00:01.127] the last rose of summer
[00:13.787]
[00:17.838] tis the last rose of summer
[00:23.588] left blooming alone
[00:29.889] all her lovely companions
[00:36.390] are faded and gone
[00:41.844] no flower of her kindred,
[00:47.744] no rosebud is nigh
[00:56.945] to reflect back her blushes
[01:03.727] or give sigh for sigh
[01:16.279] i'll not leave thee,
[01:19.680] thou lone one,
[01:22.129] to pine on the stem
[01:28.31] since the lovely are sleeping,
[01:34.332] go sleep thou with them
[01:40.482] thus kindly i scatter
[01:46.532] thy leaves o'er the bed
[01:55.832] where thy mates of the garden
[02:02.282] lie scentless and dead
[02:10.886] so soon may i follow
[02:16.987] when friendships decay
[02:22.487] and from love's shining circle
[02:28.237] the gems drop away
[02:34.337] when true hearts lie withered
[02:40.290] and fond ones are flown
[02:50.591] oh who would inhabit
[02:56.242] this bleak world alone?
