Near a quiet and country village stood a maple on the hill there I set with my Geneva long ago when the stars were shining brightly we could hear the whippoorwill and we set beneath the maple on the hill Don't forget me,little darling, when they've laid me down to die just one little wish, darling, that I pray As you linger there in sadness you are thinking of the past let your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave We would sing love songs together when the birds had gone to rest we would listen to the murmur of the hill Will you love me,little darling, as you did those starry nights when we set beneath the maple on the hill Don't forget me,little darling, when they've laid me down to die just one little wish, darling, that I pray As you linger there in sadness you are thinking of the past let your teardrops kiss the flowers on my grave
