Nina Simone - Last Rose Of Summer Lyrics
Thomas moore, nina simonetis the last rose of summer, left blooming all aloneAll her lovely companions are faded and gone.No flower of her kindred, no rose bud is nighTo reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh.Ill not leave thee, thou lone one! to pine on the stemSince the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with themthus kindly I scatter thy leaves oer the bedWhere thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead.So soon may I follow, when friendships decayAnd from loves shining circle the gems drop awayWhen true hearts lie witherd and fond ones are flownOh! who would inhabit this bleak world alone!
