My love is no writer,

Nor truly am I,

Or often a letter should bear her my

sigh;

A promise most tender I gave to my love.

I would her remember

Where e’er I should rove

I would her remember

Where e’er I should rove.

II.

Could I write her a letter,

What joy would be mine,

But, alas! ’tis a pleasure

That I must resign;

For love’s messenger only

A ring I can take,

And kiss it most fondly

For her own sweet sake.
