  *++Lyrics:|\\
The whip-poor-will at twilight's glow was singing,\\
The cricket chirp'd it's "Goodnight" lullaby,\\
The dear old village bells were sweetly ringing,\\
As you held me in your arms and said, "Goodbye;"\\
You told me of a love that naught could sever,\\
Of happy days when you and I should wed,\\
You kissed my lips to part perhaps forever,\\
Then held my hand a moment while you said:\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
When the whip-poor-will sings Marguerite,\\
And forgetmenots bloom at your feet,\\
You may know though you yearn,\\
that to you I'll return,\\
Love's old story again to repeat;\\
So be true little girl I entreat,\\
Till the time when again we shall meet,\\
Let love's star brightly shine,\\
I'll return sweetheart mine,\\
When the whip-poor-will sings Marguerite.\\
\\
For weary days I've waited your returning,\\
I've longed to see your dear face once again,\\
The whip-poor-will is singing,I am yearning,\\
For my longing and my waiting was in vain;\\
'Neath dear old southern skies tonight you're sleeping,\\
The Swanee river flows upon its way,\\
For old time's sake your love I still am keeping,\\
At twilight's glow, I seem to hear you say:\\
\\
