My Beloved, a wonder in sight,
My Lover, a rakish delight.
Never before have you known,
Oh, bride, such a vibrant young bloom,
Such a vibrant young bloom.
Branch to branch, I pluck flowers to a garland,
Slowly, love's form, softly, it garlanded.
The heart's own foe, oh, the heart's own foe,
How can he be the heart's lover, I wondered.
My Beloved, a wonder in sight,
My Lover, a rakish delight.
Never before have you known,
Oh, bride, such a vibrant young bloom,
Such a vibrant young bloom.
He quarrels, yet loves me, I see,
He meets, yet fears meeting me.
What a madman, oh, what a madman,
So hopelessly devoted to thee.
My Beloved, a wonder in sight,
My Lover, a rakish delight.
Never before have you known,
Oh, bride, such a vibrant young bloom,
Such a vibrant young bloom.
Today, he kissed my hands so fair,
And whispered, "My heart seeks you everywhere."
What can you know, oh, what can you know,
Of the words of men, beyond compare.
My Beloved, a wonder in sight,
My Lover, a rakish delight.
Never before have you known,
Oh, bride, such a vibrant young bloom,
Such a vibrant young bloom.
