[Verse 1]
The summertime is full of flowers
And the gardens are all gay
They drink the sunshine and the showers
And laugh the hours away
The trees are clad in robes of green
And the birds among them sing
But I am sad and can't be glad
For my joy has ta'en the wing
Oh, I am sad and can't be glad
For my joy has ta'en the wing

[Verse 2]
I used to love the summertime
I used to love the spring
But now my love has proved untrue
No joy to me they bring
It seems as if the wintertime
Has passed all over thе year
It's very cold within my heart
And it's dark without my dеar
It's very cold within my heart
And it's dark without my dear

[Verse 3]
Oh, heart of mine with blighted love
What power thy life can save?
I'm like a yew tree dark and sad
Beside a lonesome grave
My love I'll call both loud and long
And in my tears I'll cry
I know he'll never love me more
So loveless must I die
I know he'll never love me more
So loveless must I die
