When the last rose of summer was in bloom, And the air fill'd with fragrance and perfume, It was in the early spring, when the birds begin to sing, The soft breeze seemed to sigh, honeymoon for you and I, my darling Ding, Dong, the churchbells ringing, You were bride and I the happy groom, But we parted sad to say, Just before our wedding day, When the last rose of summer was in bloom.
Second verse
