HEIGH-HO!
Heigh-ho! She will never be mine:
Never! never. I know
The grasp of gold
My Jewel will hold:
She is Lofty and I am Low.
Never! never. I know
The grasp of gold
My Jewel will hold:
She is Lofty and I am Low.
Heigh-ho! but my heart like a Bird
On wings of the night will go,
To make its love-nest
In that heaven of her breast,
'Neath the heaven of her eyes all aglow.
On wings of the night will go,
To make its love-nest
In that heaven of her breast,
'Neath the heaven of her eyes all aglow.
Heigh-ho! in dreams she is mine,
All mine: and how can I know
But she loves me in dream,
With no drawn sword a-gleam,
'Twixt the kissing of Lofty and Low?
All mine: and how can I know
But she loves me in dream,
With no drawn sword a-gleam,
'Twixt the kissing of Lofty and Low?
