-How should I your true love know
From another one?â?
-By his cockle-hat and staff
And his sandal-shoon.â?
-And what signs have told you now
That he hastens home?â?
-Lo! the spring is nearly gone,
He is nearly come.â?
-For a token is there nought,
Say, that he should bring?â?
-He will bear a ring I gave
And another ring.â?
-How may I, when he shall ask,
Tell him who lies there?â?
-Nay, but leave my face unveiled
And unbound my hair.â?
-Can you say to me some word
I shall say to him?-
-Say I'm looking in his eyes
Though my eyes are dim.â?
