Full Lyrics
The violet loves a sunny bank,
The cowslip loves the lea,
The scarlet creeper loves the elm,
But I love— thee.
The sunshine kisses mount and vale,
The stars they kiss the sea,
The west winds kiss the clover bloom,
But I kiss— thee.
The oriole weds his mottled mate,
The lily’s bride o’ the bee;
Heaven’s marriage ring is round the earth,—
Shall I wed thee?
