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 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
