Letra

Oh Genevieve, I'd give the world

To live again the lovely past!

The rose of youth was dew-impearled

But now it withers in the blast.

Chorus:

Oh Genevieve, sweet Genevieve,

The days may come, the days may go

But still the hands of mem'ry weave

The blissful dreams of long ago

2. I see thy face in ev'ry dream,

My waking tho'ts are full of thee

Thy glance is in the starry beam

That falls along the summer sea.
