Full Lyrics
My heart is like a singing bird
whose nest is in a watered shoot,
my heart is like an apple tree
whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit,
my heart is like a rainbow shell
that paddles in a purple sea;
my heart is gladder than all these
because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down,
Hang it with vair and purple dyes,
carve it in doves and pomegranates,
and peacocks with a hundred eyes;
work it in gold and silver grapes,
in leaves and silver fleursdelys;
because the birthday of my life
is come, my love, is come to me.
