In that garden we'd play
My first and final love
Hand in hand each day
The green magnolias above
Quoth the raven forevermore
The place of our first kiss
One and one become two
In garden of lost innocence
Blossoms a love so true
Quoth the raven forevermore
Stands at the corner worried
A father deploring and stern
Hearts ripped and there buried
For lost childhood we'll yearn
Quoth the raven nevermore
Fate deals us separation
The magnolias never fade
A widow and widower then
Older but not yet grayed
Quoth the raven nevermore
A reengagement together
And the memories remain
Alas a jealous brother
The poison ends the pain
Quoth the raven nevermore
