English text
I send a letter to my dear
Each morning by the lark,
And every night the nightingale
Brings answer ere the dark.
The question needs no other words,
And this, and this is the reply:
“I’ll love thee, dearest, while I live,
And bless thee if I die.”
I send a message by the rose,
It says, “Thou breathing grace,
Thy modest virtue, like this flower,
Spreads fragrance round thy place.”
The lily brings the answer meet,
“O thou, O thou whom I adore,
My heart is spotless as these leaves,
And loves thee evermore.”
