The Last Rose of Summer in Kerkrade

Composers: Music: Thomas Moore, 1779-1852
From: The Flying Dutchman 2004
---
Lyrics: Sir John Stevenson, 1761-1833.
---
Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone,
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flow'r of her kindred
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stern,
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them

Thus kindly I'll 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 flow'n
Oh! Who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

[dutchmaster1953]

although this is a wonderful rendition of the song and the voice of Suzan gives off a startling beauty i think that the Penny-Whistle is too shrill and over-powers the recording. This may not be so evident to the "Live" auditorium. But, all in all, a greg performance.

Great version of this lovely Irish air, borrowed by Friedrich von Flotow for his opera 'Martha' Vienna 1847... music by John Stevenson and words by the Irish poet Thomas Moore
