Maggie (Nora)
The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie
Displaying their charms to the bees
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me.
The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Maggie
The robin sang out from every tree
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The golden dewed daffodils shone, Maggie
And danced in the breeze on the lea
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And sou 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 never were to be
Since I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me.
