Johnson and James Austin Butterfield) Verse 1 I wander'd today to the hill, Maggie, To watch the scene below; The creek and the old rusty 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 creaking old mill is still, Maggie, Since you and I were young. Chorus: And now we are aged and gray, Maggie, And the trials of life nearly done; But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie, When you and I were young. Verse 2 A city so silent and lone, Maggie, Where the young and the gay and the best, In polished white mansions 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 as gay as they, Maggie, When you and I were young. Verse 3 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. ---------- Published 1866, now in public domain Source verse 3: The Fireside Book of Favorite American Songs, p.183.
