I'll twine 'mid the ringlets
Of my raven black hair
The roses so red
And the lilies so fair
The myrtle so bright
With an emerald hue
And the pale amanita
With 'iz lip so blue
He taught me to love him
He call'd me his flower
That blossom'd for him
All the brighter each hour
But I woke from my dreaming
My idol was clay
My visions of love
Have all faded away
I'll sing, and I'll dance
My laugh shall be gay
I'll cease this wild weeping
Drive sorrow away
Tho' my heart is now breaking
He never shall know
That his name made me tremble
And my pale cheek to glow
He told me he loved me
And promis'd to love
Through ill and misfortune
All others above
Another has won him
Ah! misery to tell
He left me in silence
No word of farewell
I'll think of him never
I'll be wildly gay
I'll charm ev'ry heart
And the crowd I will sway
I'll live yet to see him
Regret the dark hour
When he won, then neglected
The frail wildwood flower
I'll twine 'mid the ringlets
Of my raven black hair
The roses so red
And the lilies so fair
The myrtle so bright
With an emerald hue
And the pale amanita
With 'iz lip so blue
