W:'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming all alone
W:All her lovely companions are faded and gone.
W:No flower of her kindred, no rose bud is nigh
W:To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh.
W:
W:I'll not leave thee, thou lone one! to pine on the stem
W:Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
W:'Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
W:Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead.
W:
W:So soon may I follow, when friendships decay
W:And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
W:When true hearts lie wither'd and fond ones are flown
W:Oh! who would inhabit this bleak world alone!
