You watch my true Loves glances-
You whisper as you gaze,
And VOW through old romances
No fairer presence strays;
In silence mid your rapture

For all the while,
Her sweetest smile
My darling keeps for me.
You say her voices brightness,
In tender strains ahoat,

The wild birds haunting note.

What would your wonder be,
If you could hear,
When none are near,
The songs she sings to me
