The Yellow Rose

      My friend had walked her ways of life: 
      My friend came to me sighing: 
      "O take what I've brought out of this life, 
      A little yellow rose." 
5     My friend at night grew troubled with life, 
      And troubled my heart with sighing: 
      "O take what I've brought out of this life, 
      A little yellow rose." 
      She came at midnight, and at midnight stayed, 
10    Our eyes never done with sighing. 
      In her dropping hand she held and gave 
      A little yellow rose. 
      Oh take what I've brought out of this life, 
      A little yellow rose
