Sweet maid, I love you truly

Sweet maid, I love you truly!

Oh give your heart to me!

I'd part more easily from life,

much easier than from you!

Don't turn away, my dear,

Oh don't turn away;

Whatever comes to pass

I'll love you unto my death!

The lark will forget to sing his song

at the mornings first light,

before your eyes see me untrue,

before I forget you!

Don't turn away, my love,

oh, don't turn away!

Whatever comes to pass

I'll love you unto my death!
