W:'Tis the last rose of summer,
W:left blooming alone;
W:All her lovely companions
W:are faded and gone;
W:No flower of her kindred,
W:no rosebud is nigh
W:to reflect back her blushes,
W:or give sigh for sigh.
W:
W:I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
W:to pine on the stem.
W:Since the lovely are sleeping,
W:go sleep thou with them.
W:Thus kindly I scatter
W:thy leaves o'er the bed
W:where thy mates of the garden
W:lie scentless and dead.
W:
W:So soon may I follow,
W:when friendship decay,
W:and from love's shining circle
W:the gems drop away.
W:When true hearts lie withered
W:and fond ones have flown,
W:oh, who would inhabit
W:this bleak world alone. 
