by Helen Taylor (1876 - 1943)

Guess you know
Language: English 
Guess you know
I love you so,
Although I try to hide it,
You're the sun
And moon in one
And all the stars beside it,
When you pass
Along the grass
You set the blue-bells ringing!
I believe
You're sweet as Eve
When Eden buds were springing

Guess you know
The hours go slow
When you're away ma' honey,
Guess it's true
A smile from you
Is worth a mint o' money
Guess a queen
The rarest seen
Aint fit to rank above you,
Glad am I
The Lord on high
Just put me here to love you!
