the blighted flower - michael william balfe lyrics

Loading...

i had a flow’r within my garden growing
i nourished it with fond and anxious care
rich in each charm of nature’s own bestowing
of tints unrivalled and of fragrance rare

at length it came on evil passions dwelling
who oft had blasted many a flow’r before;
he saw my gem, in innocence excelling
he smil’d upon it, and it bloom’d no more!

next day i found it withered and degraded
cast by the spoiler carelessly away
its freshness gone, its varied beauties faded
despis’d forsaken, hast’ning to decay

vainly i strove the fading sparks to cherish
nought now remains of what was once so dear
only with life shall fond remembrance perish
or cease to flow the unavailing tear!
