Lyrics:

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 bloom gleams 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-dew daffodil shone, Maggie
And danced in the breeze on the lee
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

The birds in the trees sang their songs, Maggie
Of happier transports to be
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

Our hopes, they have never come true, Maggie
Our dreams, they were never to be
Since I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
