Only Thine.

Topics: classic

I know that thou art mine, my love,         I know that thou art fair;     And lovelier than the orange-flowers         That bind thy glossy hair:     That thou hast every gentle grace         Which nature can design--     I know that thou art mine, my love,         I know that I am thine:                 Yes, thine, my love,                 I'm thine, my love,         Thine, thine, and only thine.     I know that thou art true, my love,         And welcome as the breeze     Which comes, with healing on its wings,         Across the summer seas:     That thou hast every winning charm         Which culture may refine--     I know that thou art mine, my love,         I know that I am thine.                 Yes, thine, my love,                 I'm thine, my love,         Thine, thine, and only thine.
