[00:01.127]the last rose of summer [00:13.787] [00:17.838]tis the last rose of summer [00:23.588]left blooming alone [00:29.889]all her lovely companions [00:36.390]are faded and gone [00:41.844]no flower of her kindred, [00:47.744]no rosebud is nigh [00:56.945]to reflect back her blushes [01:03.727]or give sigh for sigh [01:16.279]i'll not leave thee, [01:19.680]thou lone one, [01:22.129]to pine on the stem [01:28.31]since the lovely are sleeping, [01:34.332]go sleep thou with them [01:40.482]thus kindly i scatter [01:46.532]thy leaves o'er the bed [01:55.832]where thy mates of the garden [02:02.282]lie scentless and dead [02:10.886]so soon may i follow [02:16.987]when friendships decay [02:22.487]and from love's shining circle [02:28.237]the gems drop away [02:34.337]when true hearts lie withered [02:40.290]and fond ones are flown [02:50.591]oh who would inhabit [02:56.242]this bleak world alone?
