The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie
Displaying the charms to the breeze
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Maggie
A robin sang loud from a tree
When I first said I loved only you,Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The golden-robed daffodils shone, Maggie
And danced with the leaves on the breeze
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The birds in the trees sang a song,Maggie
Of happier transports to be.
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
Our dreams they have never come true,Maggie
our hopes they were never to be
When I first said I loved only you,Maggie
And you said you loved only me
