Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDBDECFB GDGDHBHCIBIC JKJKLCMBBCBB| When I was in my teens | A |
| I loved dear Margaretta | B |
| I know not what it means | A |
| I can not now forget her | C |
| That vision of the past | B |
| My head is ever crazing | D |
| Yet when I saw her last | B |
| I could not speak for gazing | D |
| Oh lingering bud of May | E |
| Dear as when first I met her | C |
| Worn in my heart always | F |
| Life cherished Margaretta | B |
| - | |
| We parted near the stile | G |
| As morn was faintly breaking | D |
| For many a weary mile | G |
| Oh how my heart was aching | D |
| But distance time and change | H |
| Have lost me Margaretta | B |
| And yet 'tis sadly strange | H |
| That I can not forget her | C |
| O queen of rural maids | I |
| My dark eyed Magaretta | B |
| The heart the mind upbraids | I |
| That struggles to forget her | C |
| - | |
| My love I know will seem | J |
| A wayward boyish folly | K |
| But ah it was a dream | J |
| Most sweet most melancholy | K |
| Were mine the world's domain | L |
| To me 'twere fortune better | C |
| To be a boy again | M |
| And dream of Margaretta | B |
| Oh memory of the past | B |
| Why linger to regret her | C |
| My first love was my last | B |
| And that is Margaretta | B |
