Vine, vine and eglantine, Clasp her window, trail and twine! Rose, rose and clematis, Trail and twine and clasp and kiss, Kiss, - kiss; and make her a bower All of flowers. And drop me a flower. Vine, vine and eglantine, Cannot a flower, - a flower be mine? Rose, rose and clematis, Drop me a flower, a flower to kiss, Kiss, - kiss - and out of her bower All of flowers, - a flower, - a flower Drop, - a flower.

?. Where is another sweet [sung text not yet checked]
Language: English
Where is another, sweet as my sweet! Such another beneath the sky? Fine little hands, Fine little feet, Fine little heart and dewy blue eye. Shall I write to her? Shall I go? Ask her to marry me by and by? Somebody said that she'd say no, But somebody knows that she'll say ay! Ay, ay, Ay, ay, Ay, ay! Ah, my lady, if asked to her face; Might say no, for she is but shy. Fly, little letter, apace, apace, Down to the light in the valley fly. Fly to the light in the valley below, Tell my wish to her dewy blue eye; For somebody said that she'd say no, But she won't say no, And I'll tell you why: She will say ay, ay, ay!
