Would I but make the sun rise West
To give you joy and help you rest
And make for you the sweetest wine
If you would say forever mine

And ever on to be true
Never to abandon you
If you would but say forever mine
I would sew a soft blanket from fishing twine

Sweet and onward your caress
I am scarcely at my best
On and on I yearn for you
And forever to be true

Put your head down to rest
Here in this soft blanket nest
And here I will watch over you
Until the morning is born anew
