Lyrics

She'll twine and she'll mingle her waving black hair
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
The miles so green of an emerald hew
The pale and the nature and voilet to blue

He promised to love her; he promised to love
To cherish her always, to others above
She woke from her dream, and her idol was clay
Her passion for loving had vanished away

He taught her to love him; he called her his flower
A blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour
Though her heart now is breaking, he shall never know
How his name makes her tremble, her pale cheeks to glow

She'll dance and she'll sing her life shall be gay
She'll banish this weaping, drive troubles away
She'll live yet to see him regret this dark hour
When he won and neglected his frail wildwood flower
