My dark-hair'd girl, thy ringlets deck
In silken curls thy graceful neck,
Thy neck is like the swan, and fair as the pearl,
And light as air the step is of the dark-hair'd girl.
Thy neck is, etc.

My dark-hair'd girl, upon thy lip
The dainty bee might wish to sip;
Thy lip is like the rose, and thy teeth they are pearl,
And diamond is the eye of my dark-hair'd girl.
Thy lip, etc.

My dark-hair'd girl, I've promised thee,
And thou thy faith hast given to me,
And oh, I would not change for the crown of an Earl
The pride of being loved by my dark-hair'd girl.
And oh, etc.
