I know a maiden, Oh so sweet
Right from her head down to her feet
The heavenly angels envy her face
She is the manifestation of beauty and grace
Her very pout is fairer far
Than smiles of other maidens are
Her eyes the stars of a midnight fair
Matched only by the beauty of her hair
Her laughter the sound of a ringing bell
She has me completely under her spell
So I pray to the Lord divine
To make this pretty maiden mine
