I've a secret in my heart, Sweet Marie 
A tale I would impart, love to thee 
Every daisy in the dell 
Knows my secret, knows it well 
And yet I dare not tell Sweet Marie 

When I hold your hand in mine, Sweet Marie 
A feeling most divine comes to me 
All the world is full of Spring 
All the warblers on the wing 
And I listen while they sing, Sweet Marie 

Come to me, Sweet Marie 
Sweet Marie, Come to me 
Not because your face is fair, love, to see

But your soul, so pure and sweet, 
Makes my happiness complete 
Makes me falter at your feet, Sweet Marie 

In the morn when I awake, Sweet Marie 
Seems to me my heart will break, love, for thee 
Every wave that shakes the shore 
Seems to sing it o'er and o'er 
Seems to say that I adore Sweet Marie 
When the sunset tints the west, Sweet Marie 
And I sit down to rest, love, with thee 
Every star that studs the sky 
Seems to stand and wonder why 
They're so dimmer than your eye, Sweet Marie 

Come to me, Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie, Come to me 
Not because your face is fair, love, to see 

But your soul, so pure and sweet, 
Makes my happiness complete 
Makes me falter at your feet, Sweet Marie

    This song was not written by the above authors, they were not even born yet, and wouldn't be until decades later. The song was published by W. Paxton in 1893; words by Cy Warman, and music by Raymon Moore. Here is the earliest recorded version sung by Ada Jones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC-fO3okUGQ
