Lyrics: I have heard the mavis singing His love song to the morn I have seen the dewdrop clinging To the rose still nearly 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 has made this world an Eden Bonnie Mary of Argyle Tho' thy voice may lose its sweetness Thine eye it's brightness too Tho' thy step may lack it's fleetness And thy hair it's sunny hue Still to me wilt thou be dearer Than all the world can own I have loved thee for thy beauty But not for that alone I have watched thy heart, dear Mary And it's goodness was the wile That has made thee mine forever Bonnie Mary of Argyle
