So bashful when I spied her

So bashful when I spied her,
So pretty, so ashamed!
So hidden in her leaflets,
Lest anybody find;

So breathless till I passed her,
So helpless when I turned
And bore her, struggling, blushing,
Her simple haunts beyond!

For whom I robbed the dingle,
For whom betrayed the dell,
Many will doubtless ask me,
But I shall never tell!

Upon the gallows hung a wretch

Upon the gallows hung a wretch, / Too sullied for the hell

Have you got a brook in your little heart

Have you got a brook in your little heart, / Where bashful flowers blow,
