A Little Blue Forget-Me-Not. Copyright, 1892, by W. Schmiel. Words by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Stiller. Music by W. C. Schrader. 
My little love of long ago, I wonder if you have forgot The summer day you gave to me a little blue forget-me-not; A little blue forget-me-not, all diamonded with morning dew; You kissed me, too, my little love, and promised always to be true. Oh, little blue forget-me-not, that bloomed beside her cottage-door; They made her break her troth to me, alas! because I was too poor. Once only after years, long years, within a crowded hall we met; Those eyes, like blue for-get-me-nots, looked up to mine all sad And wet. A little blue forget-me-not was lying dead upon my breast; I wondered if she guessed. Ah, no! I bowed in scorn And that was best, For never, never shall she know it broke my heart when she forgot; Nor that I keep for dead love's sake a faded blue forget-me-not. 
They wrote to me she had forgot, a richer suitor came to woo; The little blue forget-me-not faded because she was untrue; Within a palace home she dwells, diamonds are hers, and Orient pearls; She wears no blue forget-me-nots entwined among her golden curls. Oh, little blue forget-me-not, that bloomed beside her cottage-door, etc.
