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.
