O should it please the pitying powers,
To call me to the sky,
I'd claim a guardian angel charge,
Around my love to fly,
To guard him from all dangers
How Happy.should I be!
And I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.
I‘ll make a strawy garland,
I‘ll make it wondrous fine,
With roses, lilies, daisies.
I'll mix the eglantine;
And I'll present it to my love,
When he returns from sea,
For I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.
O! if I was a little bird
To build upon his breast,
Or if I was a nightingale.
To sing my love to rest;
To gaze upon his lovely eyes
All my reward should be,
For I love my love because I know
My love loves me.
