Lyrics:
Only a violet blossom,
You gave me in days long ago,
And yet to my heart still it whispers,
Recalling your cheek's youthful glow.
Oh! fondly it brings the bright moments,
When gladly we roamed side by side.
And you were still fairer and dearer
Than aught in this world drear and wide.
chorus:
Only a violet blossom,
You gave me at morn's dewy glow,
And yet to my heart it still whispers
Of you and the sweet long ago.
Only a violet blossom,
It speaks of the bright happy past,
Of vows that so fondly we plighted,
Of joys that were too dear to last,
Oh! what tho' 'tis blighted and withered
This blossom you gave then to me.
The sweet dream of love I live over,
Tho' lonely and sad I may be.
