Tis The Last Rose Of Summer.

By Thomas Moore

Topics: classic

'Tis the last rose of summer         Left blooming alone;     All her lovely companions         Are faded and gone;     No flower of her kindred,         No rose-bud 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.     So soon may I follow,         When friendships decay,     And from Love's shining circle         The gems drop away.     When true hearts lie withered,         And fond ones are flown,     Oh! who would inhabit         This bleak world alone?
