When I pass down the street and see
   The people smiling so,
It's clear enough that my true love
   Was there awhile ago.

Her lips that, following her two eyes,
   Go smiling here and there,
Seem newly kissed - but 'tis my faith
   That none but I would dare.

Love, like a drop of dew that joins
   Two blades of grass together,
Has made her mine, as I am hers,
   For ever and for ever.
