Wildwood Flower

Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair With the rose so red and the lilies so fair And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue Oh she taught me to love her and promised to love And to cherish me over all others above How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell She left me no warning no words of farewell Yes she taught me to love her and call me her flower That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour She's gone and neglected her pale wildwood flower
