¶Lyrics / Text

Would you know the maid he loves? This morn her name discloses And paints its colors on her cheek In lilies and in roses; Her song’s the sweet bird’s note, Her smile the waking of the flowers, Her presence as the sunny light That warms this world of ours. To name her is to speak of love, Of all in nature fairest, Youth, beauty, purity, and grace, And every charm the rarest. This humble tribute to thy charms (Without its merits weighing), Accept, sweet maid, from truest hearts That ever went a-maying!
