Bonny Mary of ARGYLE. I have heard the mavis singing. Its love song to the morn, I have seen the dew-drop clinging To the rose just newly born ; But a sweeter song has cheered me At the evening's gentlo close, And Ive seen an eye still brighter Than the dew-drop on the rose. Twas thy voice, my gentle Mary And thy artless winning smile, That mada this world an Eden, Bonnie Mary of Argyle Tho 'thy thy voice may lose its sweetness And thine eye its brightness too, Tho thy step may lose its swiftness And thine hair its sunny hue; Still to me thou wilt be bearer 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 doolness was the wile, That has made thee mine for ever Bonnie Mary of Argyle Printed and Sold by JAS.
