Текст песни
She never blamed him, never
But received him when he came
With a welcome kind as ever
Though she tried to look the same
In vain she would falter
Whenever she tried to smile
A tear unbidden trembled
On her blue eyes all the while
She knew that she was fading
That she fought a sudden doom
She never thought of sighing
While the beauty's blight took bloom
She knew her cheeks were altered
She knew her voice was dim
That the sweet voice only faltered
When she spoke of losing him
It's true that he had sought her
From the place where she was born
It's true that he had suffered her
To the cold world's cruelest scorn
Yet she never blamed him
For the anguish she had known
And though she never blamed him
She felt the full blown
She sighed when he caressed her
For she knew that they must part
She spoke with just a whisper
To his young and hopeful heart
The banners waved around her
She heard the bugle sound
They passed and strangers found her
Cold and lifeless on the ground
