The flowers I saw in the wildwood,
have since dropped their beautiful leaves,
D D7 G
have slumbered for years in their graves.
G
But the bloom of the flowers I remember,
though their smiles I may nevermore see,
D D7 G
stole my flowers' companions from me.
G
It's no wonder that I'm broken hearted,
and stricken with sorrow should be,
D D7 G D G
my flowers' companions and me.
G
How dark looks this world and how dreary,
when we part from the ones that we love.
D D7 G
and friends meet with loved ones above
G
For in heaven I can but remember,
when from earth my soul shall be free,
D D7 G D G
shall steal my companions from me.
G
It's no wonder that I'm broken hearted,
and stricken with sorrow should be,
D D7 G D G
my flowers' companions and me.
