If you were mine if you were mine	A
The day would dawn the stars would shine	A
The sun would set the moon arise	B
In holier and yet heavenlier skies	B
Then unto me the Year would bring	C
A younger April fresher Spring	C
I should not then seek sylvan ways	D
For primrose clusters woodbine sprays	D
To hear the mavis' matin tale	E
Or nocturn of the nightingale	E
For at your coming there would pass	F
A glow a glory o'er the grass	F
The flowers would in your gaze rejoice	G
The wildwood carol in your voice	G
Returning gleam chase lingering gloom	H
And life be never out of bloom	H
If you were mine	A
	-
If you were mine I should not know	I
In what fair month the roses blow	I
When the pure lily bares her brow	J
Or ringdoves coo their nuptial vow	J
For with your hand soft clasped in mine	A
I still should smell the eglantine	A
And wheresoe'er our steps should stray	K
The incense of the new mown hay	K
By restless wave or restful mere	L
In wanderings far or wanderings near	L
On cheerful down in pensive glen	M
It would be always Summer then	M
If you were mine	A
	-
If you were mine I should not fear	L
The warnings of the waning year	L
The garnering sickle girdled sheaf	N
The falling acorn floating leaf	N
Moisture of eve and haze of morn	O
Pearls turned to rubies on the thorn	O
The silvering tress on fading brow	J
The dimples that are furrows now	J
For leaving summits once I clomb	H
With you would seem but wending home	H
Leaning on love in life's decline	A
More sweet the shadow than the shine	A
The cushat's perch than swallow's wing	C
And Autumn peace than pomp of Spring	C
If you were mine	A
	-
If you were mine how then should I	P
Heed frozen fallow churlish sky	P
Bleak songless branches sapless rind	Q
The wailing of the homeless wind	Q
The dwindling days the deepening snow	I
The dull dead weight of wintry woe	I
For harkening to the Christmas peal	R
Without our hearts within would feel	R
In glowing rafter flickering blaze	D
The sunshine of departed days	D
And round the hearth dear memories swarm	H
To keep life young to keep love warm	H
If you were mine '	-
	-
Yet you are mine yes you are mine	A
No length of land no breadth of brine	A
Can keep whom spirit links apart	S
Or make an exile of the heart	S
And when from soul no more the thrall	T
Of sense the fleshly fetters fall	T
And purified by combats past	U
Long martyred love is crowned at last	U
You then before the Heavenly Throne	V
Will take my hand nor blush to own	V
That you were mine '	-
	-
When June is wreathed with wilding rose	W
When June is wreathed with wilding rose	W
And all the buds are blown	V
And O 'tis joy to dream and doze	W
In meadows newly mown	V
Go take her where the graylings leap	X
And where the dabchick dives	Y
Or where the bees from clover reap	X
The harvest for their hives	Y
For Summer is the season when	V
If you but know the way	K
A maid that's kissed will kiss again	V
And pelt you with the hay	K
The hay	K
And pelt you with the hay	K
