Nana Mouskouri - The Last Rose Of Summer lyrics

T'is the last rose of summer,

Left bloom all alone

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone.

No flower of her kindred

No rosebud is nigh

To reflect back her blushes,

Or give sigh for sigh.

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 flow'n

Oho, Who would inhabit

This bleak world alone?
