Beat upon mine, little heart

E. Nevin

Beat upon mine, little heart, beat, beat;

Beat upon mine! you are mine, my sweet;

All mine from your pretty blue eyes to your feet,

my sweet:

Sleep, little blossom, my honey, my bliss,

For I give you this, and I give you this,

And I blind your pretty blue eyes with a kiss,

sleep!

Father and Mother will watch you grow,

And gather the roses where ever they blow,

And find the white heather where ever you go,

my sweet, my sweet.
