OH, I love my love in the sunny summer-time
With a kiss, — or two, or three;
Like a rose of June in the full of the moon
She is lovely, my love, is she!
So I hold her dear, and sing her a rhyme,
With a kiss, — or two, or three;
Like the honey deep in the flower of the thyme
So is my love sweet to me!

Oh, I love my love in the happy autumn days
With a kiss, — or four, or five;
She laughs like the trees in the swing of the breeze
When the last warm breezes drive!
So I hold her close, and hymn her praise,
With a kiss, — or four, or five;
Like the golden-rod with its glorious rays,
She's the sunniest thing alive!

Oh, I love my love in the cheery winter-time
With a kiss, — or six, or seven;
Like the reddening snow in the sunset glow
Is her cheery cheek at even!
It is all for her, the Christmas chime,
With a kiss, — or six, or seven;
Like the stars of night on the sparkling rime
Is my love, whose love is Heaven!

Oh, I love my love in the merry vernal morn
With a kiss, — or eight, or nine;
Like the apple bloom and its sweet perfume
Is she pink in the sunshine!
So she holds my heart when April's born,
With a kiss, — or eight, or nine;
Like the thrush in song on the blossoming thorn
Is the love I know is mine.
