I’ll twine ’mid the ringlets of raven black hair The lilies so pale and the roses so fair The myrtle so bright with an emerald hue And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue 
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 
I’ll think of him never, I’ll be wildly gay I’ll charm every heart and the crowd I will sway I’ll live yet to see him regret the dark hour When he won then neglected this frail wildwood flower 
He told me he loved me and promised to love Through ill and misfortune, all others above Another has won him, oh misery to tell He left me in silence no words of farewell 
He taught me to love him, he called me his flower That blossomed 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
