  *++Lyrics:|\\
Out amongst the flowers sweet,\\
Lingers pretty Marguerite,\\
Sowing with her hands so white,\\
Future blossoms, fair and bright.\\
And the sunbeams lovingly,\\
Kiss sweet Margurite for me.\\
Kiss my little lady sweet,\\
Blue eyed gentle Marguerite!\\
\\
When I say, "Oh Marguerite,\\
All my heart is at your feet."\\
Turn it to a garden fair,\\
See it blossom 'neath your care.\\
Till it yields for you alone,\\
Wond'rous fragrance all your own.\\
And its sweetest flowers shall grow,\\
For my Marguerite I know!\\
\\
Blushes deepen in her cheek,\\
Ere the shy red lips can speak,\\
"Ah! but what if weeds should grow,\\
'Mongst the flowers you bid me sow?"\\
"Love will pluck them out," I cry,\\
"Trust me Marguerite so shy,\\
Let my heart your garden be,\\
Give the seeds of love to me."\\
\\
