The Song Lyrics And Easy Chords In The Key Of D
[D]'Tis the last[G] rose of[D] summer, left blooming all [A]alo[D]ne
All[D] her love[G]ly com[D]panions are faded[A] and [D]gone.
No[G] flower of her[D] kindred, no[Bm] rose bud is nigh
To re[D]flect[G] back her[D] blushes and give[A] sigh for [D]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!
[D]'Tis the last[G] rose of[D] summer, left blooming all [A]alo[D]ne
All[D] her love[G]ly com[D]panions are faded[A] and [D]gone.
No[G] flower of her[D] kindred, no[Bm] rose bud is nigh
To re[D]flect[G] back her[D] blushes and give[A] sigh for [D]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!

The mind of the man of taste seems to be absorbed with attention when he enters a picture gallery, or exhibition of historical paintings. — What the paintings are to the connoisseur or amateur in this divine art, Ballads are to the historian and lover of literature. Sir Joshua Reynolds says, the pictures displayed on the walls of a room, are the thoughts of the artists ; and, as family pictures are much esteemed for their representing to us the face and countenance of our ancestors, and bringing to our recollection the favoured features of those who are now no more I those things that portray the mind and soul ought to be more dear to us. The ancient Ballads of Caledonia are venerated by those lovers of their country who delight in the native imagery of their homes, and in hearing the martial and warlike deeds of their forefathers said or sung in the enchanting voice of their fair countrywomen.
There is a noble sublimity, a hear-melting tenderness, (says an eminent author,) in some of our ancient Ballads, which shew them to be the work of a masterly hand : and it has often given me many a heart-ache to reflect, that such glorious old bards — bards, who very probably owed all their talents to native genius, yet have described the exploits of heroes, the pangs of disappointment, and the melting's of love, with such tine strokes of nature, — that their very names (.0 how mortifying to a bard's vanity ! ) are now buried among the wreck of things which were.
