Oh, I'll whine with my mangled and waving black hair And the rose is so red and the lily so fair And the myrtle's bright with the emerald dew The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue I will dance, I will sing and my love shall be gay I will charm every heart in his crown I will sway When I awoke from the dreaming my idols was clay All portion of love had all gone away Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love And to cherish me over all others above How my heart feels now wondering, no misery can tell He's left me no warning, no words of farewell Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower That's blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour He's one that neglected this pale wildwood flower
