A SONG TO HER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: A SONG TO A MAID WITH EYES LIKE STARS
Last Line: LOVE ON LOVE'S PINIONS WINGING
Subject(s): LOVE;

ASONG to a maid with eyes like stars;
Lad, you can sing it.
Any old tune to trip the bars,
Any old voice to ring it;
Love will wend it away to her;
Love will mend it and pray to her;
Love with his love will wing it.

A song to a maid, a song of songs
Born in the singing
Ever, oh! ever to love belongs;
Ringing, ringing, ringing!
Holly berry, a winter theme,
Bursting cherry, a summer's dream,
Love on love's pinions winging.
