Lyrics
Just a bunch of old-time flowers
Wet with dew
Taken from the woodland bowers
We once knew
I have made it quite complete for
Mignonette is in the lot
Then there is a spray of sweet forget-me-not
Refrain:
Just a half confession I could not withhold
Just a faint expression of a love untold
Hyacinth, the air perfuming
Shy Verbena lately blooming
By the myrtle, unassuming
Tell me, will he know who brought you?
From the scented wildwood once our favorite spot
That old haunt of childhood that we ne’er forgot
See that when he gets this token
He will read the old unspoken
Message of the sweet forget-me-not
