If one could be and see my love and shall this be with shepherd's tongue
to land and sea's and hills above.
Come be with me and be my love
And upon the hills we sit to see ,
when shepherds come's their flocks to feed,
then might in love we should ever be.
The flowers do fade from time to time
but neither winter ,spring nor summer
our love will never fade with time.
Our gown will be made from the finest wool
and our slippers ,which will protect us from the cold
our buckles made of the purest gold.
A belt of straw and ivy buds
with coral claps and amber studs
and if this your only lust .
come be with me and be my love.
If youth could last ,we'll dance and sing
with this delight each season bring.
With this joy no date nor age we'll need,
then delight my mind might move
to live with thee and be thy love.
