<poem>
To be gazing on those charms,
To be gazing on those charms,
To enfold thee in these arms,  
To enfold thee in these arms,
From those lips to hear thy vow,  
From those lips to hear thy vow,
With ecstatic sweetness flow;  
With ecstatic sweetness flow;
To be loved by one so fair  
To be loved by one so fair
Is to be blest beyond compare.  
Is to be blest beyond compare.


At that bosom's gentle shrine,  
At that bosom's gentle shrine,
To confess what glows in mine;  
To confess what glows in mine;
In those heavenly eyes to view,  
In those heavenly eyes to view,
That confession dear to you;  
That confession dear to you;
To be loved by one so fair  
To be loved by one so fair
Is to be blest beyond compare.  
Is to be blest beyond compare.}}
</poem>

To be gazing on those charms,
To enfold thee in these arms,
From those lips to hear thy vow,
With ecstatic sweetness flow;
To be loved by one so fair
Is to be blest beyond compare.

At that bosom's gentle shrine,
To confess what glows in mine;
In those heavenly eyes to view,
That confession dear to you;
To be loved by one so fair
Is to be blest beyond compare.
