The myrtle so green of an emerald hue The pale emanita and islip so blue. Oh he promised to love me, he promised to love And to cherish me always all others above. I woke from my dream and my idol was clay My passion for loving had vanished away. Oh he taught me to love him, he called me his flower A blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour But now he is gone and left me alone The wild flowers to weep and the wild birds to mourn I'll dance and I'll sing and my life shall be gay I'll charm every heart in the crowd I survey Though my heart now is breaking he shall never know How his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks glow. I'll dance and I'll sing and my heart will be gay I'll banish this weeping drive troubles away I'll live yet to see him regret this dark hour When he won and neglected this frail wildwood flower.
