G C G
G D G
[Verse 1]
I will Gtwine with my mingles of Draven black Ghair
With the Groses so red and the Dlilies so Gfair;
The Gmyrtle so bright with it's Cemerald Gdew
And the pale and the leader and Deyes look so Gblue.
[Verse 2]
I will Gdance, I would sing and my Dlife shall be Ggay.
I will Gcharm every heart, in its Dcrown I will Gsway.
When Gwoke from my dreaming, and all Cidols was Gclay
And all Gportions of lovin' had Dall flown aGway.

[Verse 3]
He Gtaught me to love him and Dpromised to Glove
And Gcherish me over all Dothers aGbove.
My Gpoor heart is wond'ring no Cmisery can Gtell.
He Gleft me no warning, no Dwords of fareGwell.
[Verse 4]
He Gtaught me to love him and Dcalled me his Gflower
That was Gblooming to cheer him through Dlife's weary Ghour.
How I lGong to see him and reCgret the dark Ghour
He's Ggone and neglected his Dpale wildwood Gflower.
[Outro]
 G   D   GX2
