Verse 1
As I lay musing on my bed last night,
I dreamed of my own heart's delight;
I was so perplexed as I could take not rest,
Love did torment me so -
Then straight to my love's window I did go.
Verse 2
I went to my love's window with fame,
And gently called her all by her name;
My love arose, put on her clothes,
And to me she whispered low,
Saying, 'Go from my window, my love, do!'
Verse 3
'My mother and father they are both awake,
And they will surely hear you if you speak.
There's be no excuse, but sad abuse,
Bad words and bitter blows -
So go from my window, my love, do!'
Verse 4
My love arose and tumbled over the chair,
Her father cries out, 'Who, who is there?'
'I am out of bed, I can take not rest,
The tiles they rattle so.
Hark! father hark! how the stormy winds blow!'
Verse 5
My love came down and opened the door,
Like an angel bright she stood all on the floor;
Her eyes shone bright, like the stars at night,
Like diamonds in the room.
But still she cried, 'Whisper, my love, do!'
Verse 6
Ten thousand times I kissed her sweet charms,
Ten thousand times I folded her in my arms;
But what I said there, I shall never declare,
No mortal man shall know -
But still she cried, 'Whisper, my love, do!'
