serenade

Around you an aura of delight

Beauty, men cannot hold off their sight

A lovely daughter of Eve sent

To be a lasting ornament

Only be with me this moment

My plea to you to consider

To be with me forever

Or hold me either

Blossom eternized, If you a garden

I will put you in a song to tell the world

What’s there to be enjoyed?

And men will run the cities void

To have a share in the cherries

But deny them even the berries

And I stay free from my worries

I will make a home you long

And envying ladies will there throng

Surprise in their ear a serenade, a song

For you through your window I play

In time we may in May

Together promise forever to say

Oh a wonder! Our hearts to one another lay
