The window
Language: English
Sweet maid, fair maid, open the window See, here we wait, the morn and I Eager to greet maiden so sweet So shyly sweet, so sweetly shy Sweet maid, rare maid, open the window, See, here are roses for thy prize Blooming and fair with fragrance rare All waiting for thy sunny eyes. Sweet maid, dear maid, open the window, See here the rose newborn from sleep, Look down and see our gifts to thee A rose to wear, a heart to keep.
