Do I love thee? Ask the bee br If she loves the flowery lea, br Where the honeysuckle blows br And the fragrant clover grows. br As she answers, Yes or No, br Darling! take my answer so. br br Do I love thee? Ask the bird br When her matin song is heard, br If she loves the sky so fair, br Fleecy cloud and liquid air. br As she answers, Yes, or No, br Darling! take my answer so. br br Do I love thee? Ask the flower br If she loves the vernal shower, br Or the kisses of the sun, br Or the dew, when day is done. br As she answers, Yes or No, br Darling! take my answer so.
