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