Language: English
For sweet love's sake, I pray thee take, This little knot of blue, It only shows, The love that glows, Within thy heart so true. But shouldst thou find, Love is unkind, Grieve not, o lovely maid, Grieve not, grieve not, For winds will blow, And tears will flow, Before love's debt is paid, For sweet love's sake, I pray thee take, This little knot of blue.
