Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- 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 forever
I love you
- O 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
