The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie
Displaying their charm to the bee
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 in the breeze on the lea
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

The trees, birds, and bees 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
