Give Me Thy Heart

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

12

Give me thy heart as I give mine,
Our hands in mutual bonds will join,
Propitious may our union prove,
What's life without the joys of love?
13

Should care knock rudely at our gate,
Admittance to obtain,
14

Cupid shall at the casement wait,
And bid him call again!
15

Give me thy heart as I give mine
Our hands in mutual bonds will join,
Propitious may our union prove,
16

What's life without the joys of love?
