'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming all alone

All her lovely companions are faded and gone

N.C. D# G# A# D# A# G# D# G# A# D#
To reflect back her blushes or give sigh for sigh

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem
D#* G G# A# D# A# G# D# G# A# D# Fm7
Since the lonely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
D# Cm Gm G# Fm7 Fm
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
D#* G G# A# D# A# G# D# G# A# D# Fm7
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
D# Cm Gm G# Fm7 Fm
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown__

Oh, who would inhabit this bleak world alone?
