I know that thou art mine, my love, I know that thou art fair, And lovelier than the orange flow’rs Which bind thy glossy hair; That thou hast ev’ry gentle grace Which nature can design— I know that thou art mine, my love, I know that I am thine! I know that thou art mine, my love, I know that I am thine! Yes, thine my love, yes, thine my love, Thine, thine, and only thine! 2. I know that thou art true, my love, And welcome as the breeze Which comes, with healing in its wings, Across the summer seas; That thou hast ev’ry winning charm, That renders love divine— I know that thou art mine, my love, I know that I am thine! I know that thou art mine, my love, I know that I am thine! Yes, thine my love, yes, thine my love, Thine, thine, and only thine!
