Laura Wright - The Last Rose Of Summer

[songpidgeon]

Absolutely love this song. One of my favourites. She sings like an angel ❤

[SBCBears]

Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone
No flow’r of her kindred
No rose bud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes
And 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 and dead

So soon may I follow
When friendships decay
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away
When true hearts lie wither’d
And fond ones are flown
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone
This bleak world alone

[seandegidon]

Thanks, I sang it at my dad's wake.

This a Robbie Burns poem set to music. His lyrics are poignant and rich in expressing exquisite emotions. And Laura's soprano voice saturates and elevates the sentiments.

[shin-i-chikozima]

Transcending time and space,
her beautiful song will be eternal
Her beautiful voice Ís out of this world, and off the charts
My soul Ís purified

[larissakent]

This is such a beautiful song and i am learning it! she sings it so beautifully with her pure voice. So inspiring... lost for words!..

[laurencegentry]

Such a great song bringing happiness and sadness in equal measure.

[Mohaimin.Patwary]

'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,
To 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 and dead.
So soon may I follow,

[manaoji]

It's emotional,
Celtic,
classical
and above all, pop.

I love it.

[yoimati]

What a beautiful voice! A true talent!

For Chadwick Boseman. Thank you for your beautiful gift to us.
I found this while on a mountain road at the time his death was announced.
Rest in Peace. Heart broken. He was to play the role in the film African Samurai.

[emerycandy]

Three incrediablly beautiful women with incredibly beautiful singing voices.

Acoustics of the venue have lifted and carried her voice to pay due justice to this unique Irish modern classic.

[peterlim]

I cry when this song I sing
such sorrow and melancholy it does bring
life's joys hardly do last for a single spring
sweetest roses weep in their winter fading

such lovely rendition

[rw]

Lovely version of one of my favy Irish folk songs...!

[agnes]

A real angelic voice! She's amazing 🌫💕

Totally agree with you. I understand every splendid performances need tons of practice and devotion. And superior perfomers need to be gifted.
