Language: English
Dear heart, a love so truly true Not Heaven itself opposes, Blown softly like the morning dew Among the blowing roses,-- From you to me, from me to you, Like dew among the roses! Ay, more, a love so free from stain High Heaven alone discloses,-- Blown affluent as the morning rain Among the blowing roses,-- From me to you, and back again, Like rain among the roses! Sweet heart, it seemeth to my view The sweetest of all posies,-- From you to me, from me to you, Like rain among the roses,-- Like dew and rain, like rain and dew Among the blowing roses!
