The Last Rose Of Summer

Song composer: J.W. Glover

	D	G	D
	’Tis the last	rose of	summer,

	A	D
left blooming all	alo	ne

	D	G	D
All	her love	ly com	panions

	A	D
are faded	and	gone.

	G	D
No	flower of her	kindred,

	Bm
no	rose bud is nigh

	D	G	D
To re	flect	back her	blushes

	A	D
and 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.

So soon may I follow,

when friendships decay

And from love’s shining

circle the gems drop away

When true hearts lie wither’d

and fond ones are flown

Oh! who would inhabit

this bleak world alone!

Go back
