A Maiden¹

Oh if I were the velvet² roseUpon the red rose vine, I'd climb to touch his windowAnd make his casement³ fine.

And if I were the little birdThat twitters on the tree, All day I'd sing my love for himTill he should harken me.

But since I am a maidenI go with downcast eyes, And he will never hear the songsThat he has turned to sighs.

And since I am a maidenMy love will never know That I could kiss him with a mouthMore red than roses blow.
