@LampaDarioRottofreno, I am sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I know that you are interested in the songs and I am very grateful for your interest. I just feared that in the process of looking at the lyrics, you would notice my mistakes. I hope you agree that the correct words are not so important.
Thanks again for your interest and valuable encouragement. With my very best wishes

I beg your pardon; it was absolutely not my desire to discover "faults", but attracted by your singing I researched the text successfully.
With compliments and best regards

@LampaDarioRottofreno You have discovered the two mistakes that I made in this verse!! I said " sunny dew" and "And thy goodness". I had to record it many times and always made some kind of error. This was the best one and I thought no one would notice the mistake!!

Mary of Argyll ,2 Tho' thy voice may lose its sweetness, And thine eye its brightness too, Tho' thy step may lack its fleetness, And thy hair its sunny hue. Still to me wilt thou be dearer, Than all the world shall own, I have loved thee for thy beauty, But not for that alone. I have watched thy heart, dear Mary, And its goodness was the wile, That has made thee mine forever, Bonnie Mary of Argyll.

Mary of Argyll ,1 I have heard the mavis singing, His love song to the morn, I have seen the dew drop clinging, To the rose just newly born. But a sweeter song has cheer'd me, At the ev'ning's gentle close, And I've seen an eye still brighter, Than the dew drop on the rose. 'Twas thy voice, my gentle Mary, And thine artless winning smile, That made this world an Eden, Bonnie Mary of Argyll.
