That trembles in her ear:
With her laughter or her sighs:
And I would be the girdle
In sorrow and in rest:
I'd clasp it round so close and tight.
And I would lie so light, so light,
And her heart would beat against me,
And I would be the necklace,
And she is grown so dear, so dear,
I scarce should be unclasp'd at night.
About her dainty dainty waist,
It is the miller's daughter,
Upon her balmy bosom,
I'd touch her neck so warm and white.
And I should know if it beat right,
That I would be the jewel
And all day long to fall and rise
For hid in ringlets day and night,
