The Last Rose of Summer - Karaoke (DivX) hard coded

DivX with hardcoded lyrics on old English font (green bordered)

Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, Hayley Westenra of "Celtic woman" singing group offer a supreme performance of "The last rose of summer" which we have converted into a karaoke video for you

The performance you see is filmed at Slane Castle in glorious Ireland.

This is one of my most favourite songs and is the best testament I could offer of the cultural spirited offerings from the Irish which makes the British supreme in this respect!


Michael Rizzo Chessman - Merry Christmas 2009

Lyrics (from Sir Thomas Moore):

Tis the last rose of summer
left blooming alone
All her lovely companions
are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred,
no rose bud is nigh

To reflect back her blushes
and give sigh for 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 withered
and fond ones are flown
Oh who would inhabit
this bleak world alone?
