Ah! I remember that sweet hour, 
When first my bosom owned loves power, 
And hope a garland wove me, 
When Henry held me to his heart, 
And fondly cried though now we part
Dear maid for life, for life I love thee!
Then swiftly passed those hours away, 
And all was joy that happy day.

Ah, Henry! Will thou come to me, 
As true as I have been to thee, 
And never leave me, never never?
Oh yes! He'll faithful prove, I know;
There's something here that tells me so.
He'll soon be mine forever, forever
Then each sad thought will pass away, 
And all was joy that happy day.
