No more I'll stroll, no more I'll stroll along the boreen
Or see the scarlet poppies flame amid the corn green
No more beneath the hedge I'll watch the butterflies at play
For my heart is filled with woe, with woe since Maggie went away
The sweet wild rose, the sweet wild rose that loved to see us there
And seemed to bid us hope, now droops and tells me to despair
The linnet sings his song unheard, perched on a leafy spray
For my heart is filled with woe, with woe since Maggie went away
The gentle flowers, the gentle flowers, their happy charm is fled
And now they seem like blossoms strewn about the silent dead
They're symbols now of sorrow deep and life's swift, sure decay
For my heart is filled with woe, with woe since Maggie went away
The heartless sun, the heartless sun which splendour gilds the skies
And mocks with smiling beams a heart that now can only sigh
Shine on, bright sun, shine on, while I could curse thy proud display
For my heart is filled with woe, with woe since Maggie went away
Then welcome grief, then welcome grief, man's one true hearted friend
For though all things be false, thou still art faithful to the end
And now I'll walk alone with thee till life turns into clay
For my heart is filled with woe, with woe since Maggie went away
