I love the merry dance, 
The softly breathing song, 
Where innocent eyes do glance,
 Where lisps the maiden's tongue.  

 I love the laughing vale, 
 I love the echoing hill, 
 Where mirth does never fail, 
 And the jolly swain laughs his fill. 

 I love the pleasant cot,
 I love the innocent bow'r,
 Where white and brown is our lot,
 Or fruit in the midday hour. 

 I love the oaken seat,
 Beneath the oaken tree,
 Where all the  villagers meet,
 And laugh my sports to see. 

 I love our neighbors all,
 But Kitty, I love thee more;
 And love them ever I shall;
 But thou art all to me.
