My rose is withered, I’m no maiden any more
My eyes have seen

that you would come, and smile, and let me walk away.
Where have you been?
I was so lonely and I cried myself to sleep.
But time was mean
and I grew hard and shrewd, I grew to old to weep.
But hope did never fade like joy and love and glee:
