 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.
