When You And I WereYoung, Maggie 加拿大民歌(往事如昨by 风飞飞) 联接http://space.wenxuecity.com/media/201211/06/1352257131.m3u It was first published as a song in 1866. The lyrics tell of the tragic love story of Maggie Clarke and George Johnson who, in the early 1860s, courted in Canada near Hamilton Ontario. They were married in 1864, but Maggie died less than a year later. Her husband immortalized their short life together in a poem which he published in a book of verse entitled 'Maple Leaves'. A young Englishman by the name of James Butterfield was so touched by the poem that he set it to music. Traces of the old mill can still be seen at Albions Falls near Hamilton.
