Intro - Lastline of verse

Instrumental Verse - Guitar

C	G	C
Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and	raven black	hair

	G	C
With the roses so red and the	lillies so	fair

	F	C
And the myrtle so bright with the	emerald	hue

	G	C
The pale amanita and	eyes look like	blue

C	G	C
I will dance, I will sing and my	laugh shall be	gay

	G	C
I will charme every heart, in his	crown I will	sway

	F	C
When I woke from my dreaming, my	idol was	clay

	G	C
All portion of love had	all flown	away

C	G	C
Oh, he taught me to love him and	promised to	love

	G	C
And to cherish me over all	others	above

	F	C
How my heart is now wondering, no	misery can	tell

	G	C
He's left me no warning, no	words of	farewell

C	G	C
Oh, he taught me to love him and	called me his	flower

	G	C
That was blooming to cheer him through	life's dreary	hour

	F	C
Oh, I long to see him and	regret the dark	hour

	G	C
He's gone and neglected his	pale wildwood	flower.
