| Lyrics: | verse 1:
A youth one day in a garden fair
A rose found withered and dying,
And all
for love, ah! love in vain
This rose was sadly sighing.:
chorus:
Heart of my
heart, I love you,
Life would be naught without you;
Light of my life, my darling,
I love you, I love you.
I can forget you never,
From you I ne'er can sever.
Say
you'll be mine for ever,
I love you.
verse 2:
Oh, sweet wild rose of a summer
day,
Thy love has all been in vain;
Loved by a maid, then cast away,
I echo thy
refrain.
chorus:
