 'TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUM-MER,

 LEFT BLOOM-ING A - - - - - LONE;

 ALL HER LOVE-LY COM - - - PANIONS

 ARE FA - - - DED AND GONE;

 NO FLOW'R OF HER KINDRED,

 NO ROSE - - - BUD IS NIGH, . . .

 TO RE - FLECT BACK HER BLUSHES,

 OR GIVE SIGH FOR SIGH:

 I'LL NOT LEAVE THEE, THOU LONE ONE,
TO PINE ON THE STEM:

SINCE THE LOVELY ARE SLEEPING,
GO, SLEEP THOU WITH THEM:

THUS KINDLY I SCATTER
THY LEAVES O'ER THE BED,

WHERE THY MATES OF THE GARDEN
LIE SCENTLESS AND DEAD.

SO SOON MAY I FOLLOW,
WHEN FRIENDSHIPS DECAY,

AND FROM LOVE'S SHINING CIRCLE
THE GEMS DROP AWAY:

WHEN TRUE HEARTS LIE WITHER'D,
AND FOND ONES ARE FLOWN,

OH! WHO WOULD INHABIT
THIS BLEAK WORLD ALONE?

                                  MOORE
