¶Lyrics / Text

My heart is like a singing bird whose nest is in a watered shoot; my heart is like an apple tree whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit; my heart is like a rainbow shell that paddles in a halcyon sea; my heart is gladder than all these because my love is come to me. Raise me a dais of silk and down; hang it with vair and purple dyes; carve it in doves and pomegranites, and peacocks with a hundred eyes; work it in gold and silver grapes, in leaves and silver fleur de lys; because the birthday of my life is come. My heart is like a singing bird whose nest is in a watered shoot; my heart is like an apple tree whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit; my heart is like a rainbow shell that paddles in a halcyon sea; my heart is gladder than all these because my love is come to me.
