Verse:
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.
I see thy face in ev'ry dream, My waking thoughts are full of thee,
Thy glance is in the starry beam, That falls along the summer sea.
 
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.
