Oh list to my song, my sweet, dark eyed 
    dove! 
   Oh list to thy lover today! 
For I’ve come from afar, to woo thee
    again, 
   Though, erstwhile, you sent me away. 

But I heard thy sighs in my troubled 
    dreams. 
   And methought they were sighs of pain; 
So I’ve come, I’ve come on the wings of 
    of my love, 
   To offer my true heart again. 

Oh say that my heart has not hoped in 
    vain! 
   Oh tell me the sweet dream was true! 
And lift those dark lashes, oh sweet love 
    of mine,
   And hide not thine eyes from my view.

Oh love, those dear eyes are telling the 
    tale, 
   That thy lips refuse to repeat! 
Come thou, to my heart; thou art mine, 
    thou art mine, 
   Till time and eternity meet!
