Song Written By Mrs. MacVeigh's
Father Brings Up Happy Memories
It was Mrs. Joseph MacVeigh’s
father, Cy Warman, who is responsi-
ble for one of Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks’
earliest and pleasantest recollec-
ns.
9 must have been four years old
at the time. There was Mamma,
tgmming a pie crust, and singing
® Marie’ at the top of her
lungs.
“Every daisy in the dell
Knows my secret, knows it well,
And yet I dare not tell
Sweet Marie,” !
Mamma, carolled, as the trimmings
“fell to the floured board.
And then, as she gathered them
up and deftly patted them into a
tiny saucer pie for a small girl, she
sang again,
“When I hold your hand in mine,
Sweet Marie,
A feeling most divine,
Comes to me.”
Whistling the refrain between her
teeth, she slipped the saucer pie in-
to the oven and took me on her lap
in the big rocking chair with the
curly arms.
It was warm in the kitchen, and
it smelled heavenly, of brown sugar
and cinnamon, ‘Sweet Marie” was
the micest song in the world.
1 wondered about the line, “Makes
me falter at your feet,” but there
was no question about, ‘Makes my
of Mamma's arms, the robin outside
on the lawn, whistling up a shower,
the bleeding hearts in the garden,
and the saucer pie bubbling in the
oven.
Cy Warman, songster and editor,
is long dead.
His daughter, Charlotte MacVeigh,
died this week.
But his song lives on, evoking
happy memories . and those
who knew Charlotte MacVeigh will
always remember
sence, a living song of happiness.
