The Last Rose of Summer - Nana Mouskouri

[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?
