You gave your love a posy and she set it on a stand, br Where it freshly bloom'd and sweetly did smell: br I gave my love a daisy and she held it in her hand, br Till it died—because she loved it so well. br You gave your love a jewel and she laid it safe apart, br Where it shone like the stars in Heav'n that dwell: br I gave my love a rosebud and she wore it on her heart, br Till it died—because she loved it so well.
