Lyrics

’Tis the last rose of summer,

Left blooming alone;

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone.

No flow’r of her kindred,

No rosebud is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes,

Or give sigh for sigh.

I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one,

To pine on the stem;

Since the lovely are sleeping,

Go, sleep thou with them.

Thus kindly I scatter

Thy leaves o’er the bed,

Where thy mates of the garden

Lie scentless and dead.

Written by: Friedrich von Flotow
