I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair   With the roses so red and the lilies so fair   And the myrtle so bright with an emerald hue   The pale emanita and hyssop so blue      Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower   A blossom to cheer him through life's weary hour   How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell   He left me no warning no words of farewell      I will dance I will sing and my life shall be gay   I will charm every heart in the crowd I will sway   Though my heart is now breaking he never shall know   How his name makes me tremble my pale cheeks to glow      Oh, he taught me to love him and promised to love   And cherish me over all others above   Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour   He's gone and neglected this frail wildwood flower   I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair   With the roses so red and the lilies so fair   And the myrtle so bright with an emerald hue   The pale emanita and hyssop so blue
