June Carter Cash - Wildwood Flower lyrics

I will twine mid my ringlets of raven black hair The lilies so pale and the roses so fair And the myrtle so bright with an emerald hue The pale amaryllis and violets so blue I will dance I will sing and my laugh will be gay I'll cease this wild weeping drive sorrow away Tho my heart is now breaking, he'll never know His name made me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow He told me he loved me and promised to love Through ill and misfortunes all others above Now another has won him, oh misery to tell He left me in silence no word of farewell He taught me to love him, he called me his flower That blossomed for him all the brighter each hour But I awoke from my dreaming, my idol was clay My visions of love have all faded away I'll think of him never, I'll be wildly gay I'll charm every heart and the crowd I will sway I'll live yet to see him regret the dark hour He won and neglected the frail wildwood flower
