[Verse 1]
N.C. C# F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C# D#m7
'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming all alone
C#* G F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C# D#m7
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
C# A#m Fm F# D#m7 D#m
N.C. C# F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C#
To reflect back her blushes or give sigh for sigh
[Verse 2]

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem
C#* G F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C# D#m7
Since the lonely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
C# A#m Fm F# D#m7 D#m
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
N.C. C# F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C#
Where thy mates of__ the garden lie scentless and dead

So soon may I follow when friendships decay
C#* G F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C# D#m7
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
C# A#m Fm F# D#m7 D#m
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown__
N.C. C# F# G# C# G# F# C# F# G# C#
Oh, who would inhabit this bleak world alone?
