I wandered today to the hill, Maggie   To watch the scene below   The creek and the rusty old mill, Maggie   Where we sat in the long, long ago      The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie   Where first the daisies sprung   The old rusty mill is still, Maggie   Since you and I were young      A city so silent and lone, Maggie   Where the young and the gay and the best   In polished white mansion of stone, Maggie   Have each found a place of rest      Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie   And join in the songs that were sung   For we sang just as gay as they, Maggie   When you and I were young      They say I am feeble with age, Maggie   My steps are less sprightly than then   My face is a well written page, Maggie   But time alone was the pen      They say we are aged and gray, Maggie   As spray by the white breakers flung   But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie   When you and I were young      And now we are aged and gray, Maggie   The trials of life nearly done   Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie   When you and I were young
