[Vocabulary not transcribed]

2/ Song/Poem:

Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes
Or 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 & dead

So soon may I follow
When friendships decay
