Fair One, thou are beguiling,
Delighting in my sighs,
Pray, let thine arms enfold me,
And hear my mournful cries.
Comfort my weary heart,
Let not thy love depart.

Approach me then, beloved,
Approach me with thy smile,
Turn not away thy visage,
But stay a little while.
Bind my sore heart to thine,
Kiss me and make thee mine.
