I will twine with my man- gles of wa- ving black hair
I will dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
Oh he taught me to love him and prom- ised to love
Oh he taught me to love him and called me his flower

With the ros- es so red and the lil- ies so fair
I will charm eve-ry heart, in his crown I will sway
And to cher- ish me ov- er all oth -ers ab- ove
That was bloom- ing to cheer him through life's dreary hour

And the myr- tle so bright with the eme-rald hue
When I woke from my dream- ing, my i- dols were clay
Now my heart is now wonde- ring no mis- ery can tell
Oh I long to see him and re- gret the dark hour

A- ll por- tion of love h- ad all flown a-way
He- 's left me no warning, n- o words of farewell
He- 's gone and neglected h- is pale wildwood flower (ends on some variation of C being picked)
