lyrics

All the flowers that I loved in the wildwood
Have sent up their beautiful bloom
And the many dear friends of my childhood
Have slumbered for years in the tomb.

CHO:
It’s no wonder I’m broken hearted
And stricken with sorrow shall be
We have met, we have loved, we have parted
My flower, my companion and me.

Oh the rose that I loved I remember
And the smile that I never more shall see
Since the cold chilly winds of December
Stole my flower, my companion from me.

Oh just think on that lovely bright morning
When our spirits from earth shall be free
We shall meet those we love in the dawning
My flower, my companion and me.
