Oh Maureen Oge across the foam,
If you were at these hedges here,
You would not know that you were home,
So quaint is everything and queer.
Each primrose opens with the day
To wonder why it has unfurled,
And since you wandered far away
The winds have searched the open world.
The cuckoo calls you home again;
The daisies droop in pale distress;
And roses lean across the lane,
Och! roses wild with loneliness.
Oh Maureen Oge beyond the sea,
I wait not only with the rose;
For in the house where you should be
The walls are lonesome for your clothes.
