Thou’rt My Lov’d One
Language: English
The stars that shine above thee The moon that swingeth low And all the winds that love thee The stream that singeth slow They know that thou’rt my lov’d one And bring me dreams of thee The crimson poppies stain thy lips, The rose gives thee perfume Among the tendrils of thy hair The night her charm doth twine And from a bough the mocking bird doth sing in ecstasy Ah were his song but mine
