The Miller's Daughter
IT is the miller's daughter And she is grown so dear so dear That I would be the jewel That trembles in her ear: For hid in ringlets day and night I'd touch her neck so warm and #CCCCFF. And I would be the girdle About her dainty dainty waist And her heart would beat against me In sorrow and in rest: And I should know if it beat right I'd clasp it round so close and tight. And I would be the necklace And all day long to fall and rise Upon her balmy bosom With her laughter or her sighs: And I would lie so light so light I scarce should be unclasp'd at night. |
