When shall I have the heart to be so bold
Should I rise up from this ever-shifting sand
To reach for fortune that is never told
To ask the faire maiden for her faire hand
Oh could or would by me it even be done
If only I had but a chance with thee
Oh how I wish I were the special one
If only her round eyes I were able to see
And only here the beating of her heart
That day my soul would rest and let me be
I only wish that I could know my small part
Then everything could be as it should be
Would she not say no or would she say no
I'm not sure but my love will only grow
