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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
