Necklace of love

No rubies of red for my lady,

No jewel that glitters and charms,

But the light of the skies, in a little one's eyes,

And a necklace of two little arms.

Of two little arms that are clinging

(Oh ne'er was a necklace like this!),

And the wealth o' the world, and love's sweetness impearled,

In the joy of a little one's kiss.

A necklace of love for my lady,

That was linked by the angels above.

No other but this and a tender, sweet kiss

That sealeth a little one's love.
