He drinks no draught, nor chews the bitter leaf,
No late-night slumber, nor the silver screen.
Seek such a guest, my love, my only grief,
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire.
Handsome and fair, with wisdom in his eyes,
A reader, writer, with a trade he knows,
A man of labor, earning as he tries,
Avoid the charmers, the deceitful shows,
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire.
A smiling face, my love, a man of grace,
Who knows the art of dressing, always fair,
And answers all my whims with sweet embrace,
And knows the way to mend a lover's care,
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire.
Like servant true, my every wish to heed,
And with a smile, fulfill each sweet request,
And with a laugh, my humble needs to feed,
And knows the way to bake my daily bread,
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire.
He drinks no draught, nor chews the bitter leaf,
No late-night slumber, nor the silver screen.
Seek such a guest, my love, my only grief,
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire my heart, then come, be seen.
If you desire.
