i will twine mid my ringlets and waving black hair with the roses so red and the lilies so fair and the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue the pale amaryllis and violets like blue i will dance i will sing and my laugh shall be gay i will charm every heart in this crown i will sway but i long to see him then regret the dark hour he s gone and neglected this frail wildwood flower well he taught me to love him and promised to love and to cherish me over all others above now my heart is now wondering oh misery can tell he s left me no warning no words of farewell but i will dance i will sing and my laugh shall be gay i will charm every heart in this crown i will sway but i long to see him then regret the dark hour he s gone and neglected this frail wildwood flower well he taught me to love him and he called me his flower that was blooming to cheer him through life s scary hour and my heart is now wondering oh misery can tell he s left me no warning no words of farewell but i will dance i will sing and my laugh shall be gay i will charm every heart in this crown i will sway but i long to see him then regret the dark hour he s gone and neglected this frail wildwood flower
