Did'st thou but know

Balfe, Michael William

Your slave am I at your command

My very life is in your hand!

Here at your feet all I surrender

And only claim from those bright eyes

One tender glance to bid me hope.

Ah! did you know all my devotion

Boundless as air and deep as ocean,

How soon your heart would heal this pain,

For love so true

Needs love again

Ah! if you knew! ah, if you knew!

ah, if you knew how much I love you

This constant heart is yours for aye,

Then bid it live

Or bid it die

Take all my wealth, take all!

Henceforth one thought alone be mine

To serve my beauteous Queen divine

This constant heart is yours for aye

Then bid it live or bid it die!

Ah! did you know all my devotion

Boundless as air and deep as ocean,

How soon your heart would heal this pain

And give for love

True love again.

Ah! if you knew, ah! if you knew how much I love you!
