Bonnie Mary Of Argyle lyrics

I have heard the Mavis singing
His love song to the morn`
I have seen the dewdrop clinging
To the rose just newly born

But a sweeter song has cheered me
At the evening`s gentle close
And I`ve seen an eye still brighter
Than the dewdrop on the rose

`Twas thy voice, my gentle Mary
And thine artless winning smile
That made this world an E-eden
Bonnie Mary o-of Argyle

`Though thy voice may lose its sweetness
Thine eye it`s brightness too
`Though thy step may lack its fleetness
And thy hair it`s sunny hue

Still to me wilt thou be dearer
Than all the world shall own
I have loved thee for thy beauty
But not for that alone

I have watched thy heart, dear Mary
And its goodness was the wile
That has made thee mine for-e-ever
Bonnie Mary o-o-o-o-o-o-of Argyle
