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
