Come, let us find a cottage, love, br That's green for half a mile around; br To laugh at every grumbling bee, br Whose sweetest blossom's not yet found. br Where many a bird shall sing for you, br And in your garden build its nest: br They'll sing for you as though their eggs br Were lying in your breast, br My love-- br Were lying warm in your soft breast. br br 'Tis strange how men find time to hate, br When life is all too short for love; br But we, away from our own kind, br A different life can live and prove. br And early on a summer's morn, br As I go walking out with you, br We'll help the sun with our warm breath br To clear away the dew, br My love, br To clear away the morning dew.
