• Lyrics:
  'Tis the last rose of Summer,
  Left blooming alone;
  All her lovely companions
  Are faded and gone;
  No flower of her kindred,
  No rosebud is nigh,
  To reflect back her blushes,
  Or give sigh for sigh!
  
  I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
  To pine on the stem;
  Since the lovely are sleeping,
  Go sleep thou with them.
  Thus kindly I scatter
  Thy leaves o'er the bed
  Where thy mates of the garden
  Lie scentless and dead.
  Where thy mates of the garden
  Lie scentless and dead.
