by Francis Hopkinson (1737 - 1791)
Give me thy heart
Language: English
Give me thy heart as I give mine, Our hands in mutual bonds will join, Propitious may our union prove, What's life without the joys of love? Should care knock rudely at our gate, Admittance to obtain, Cupid shall at the casement wait, And bid him call again!
