P
Your darling black head my heart above;
O mouth of honey, with thyme for fragrance,
Who, with heart in breast, could deny you love?
Letting her locks of gold to the cold wind free,
For me, the foremost of our gay young fellows;
But I’d leave a hundred, pure love, for thee!
Your darling black head my heart above;
O mouth of honey, with thyme for fragrance,
Who with heart in breast could deny you love?
