An end so cold 
For love which disappoints the heart, so cold 
As flowers she tight holds 

This is her end 
No one can mend 
What death calls for to the cold waters 

This is her end 
No life to spend 
Only an end so cold 



Nettles for harming 
And orchids for charming 
Poppies for doom 
And violets for gloom 

An end so cold 
With flowers which reminds her pain, so cold 
As love in days of old 

The end's coming fast 
As water runs past 
Flowers compose a scene so pleasing 

Is up the past 
Peaceful at last 
Only an end so cold 



Nettles for harming 
And orchids for charming 
Poppies for doom 
And violets for gloom 
Daisies for cleanness 
And pansies for meanness 
For death and sorrow 
One forget-me-not
