Wildwood Flower

Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair

With the roses so red and the lilies so fair

And the myrtle so bright with the emerald dew

The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue

Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay

I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay

All portions of love had all flown away

Oh, 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 to wandering, no words of farewell

Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay

I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay

All portions of love had all flown away

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 gone and neglected his pale Wildwood flower

Oh, I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay

I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway

When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay

All portions of love had all flown away
