This is what I vow She shall have my heart to keep Sweetly will we stir and sleep All the years as now Swift the measured sands may run Love like this is never done She and I are welded one This is what I vow This is what I pray Keep her by me tenderly Keep her sweet in pride of me Ever and a day Keep me from the old distress Let me, for our happiness, be the one to love the less This is what I pray This is what I know Lovers oaths are thin as rain Loves a harbinger of pain Would it were not so Ever is my heart athirst Ever is my love accursed I am neither last nor first This is what I know
