Little Ormeau Myrtle

Oh, little myrtle,
what adventure you have seen,
to end up in this little creek
Oh, dearest myrtle,
what terror you have ran from,
to end up in this little creek
Poor little myrtle, 
How your crown of petals
is withering
pains my heart,
oh, unfortunate myrtle, 
what wicked luck you have
To fly away from your home, 
To end up in this little creek
Oh, lovely little myrtle,
How bitter your day must be

I'll wonder your day
as I watch you pass me
on your way down
The little creek
