Stonewall Jackson - Wildwood Flower lyrics

Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair With the roses so red and the lilies so fair And the myrtle so bright with the emerald hue The pale amanita and eyes look like blue Oh, I'll dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway When I woke from my dreaming my idol was clay All portion of love had all flown away Oh, she taught me to love her and promised to love And to cherish me over all others above How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell She's left me no warning no words of farewell Oh, she taught me to love her and called me her flower That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour Oh, I long to see her and regret the dark hour She's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower
