The Sweetest Flower

The sweetest flower I ever saw
 Grows on the westward plain
 The only boy I ever loved
 I never may see again
 The Blue Star blooms but once a year
 When the sun shines bright in the sky
 But if you pluck those flowers out
 Then they will surely die
 And if you tell the one you love
 That you'll be no man's bride
 He'll leave you sure as the sun will rise
 As sure as the tears you'll cry
 The flowers in my garden grow
 And bloom from spring to fall
 But wildflowers grow just where they will
 And need no care at all
 The sweetest flower I ever saw
 Grows on the westward plain
 The only boy I ever loved
 I never may see again
