| HERE sitting by the fire | B |

| Therefore we sit and view | G |
| I and you love I and you | G |
| That wondrous valley o'er southern seas | H |
| Where in a country new | G |
| You will make for me a sweet nest of ease | H |
| - | |
| Where I your poor tired bird | I |
| Nothing stirred Love nothing stirred | I |
| May fold her wings and be no more distrest | I |
| Where troubles may be heard | I |
| Like outside winds at night which deepen rest | I |
| - | |
| Where in green pastures wide | I |
| We'll abide love we'll abide | I |
| And keep content our patriarchal flocks | J |
| Till at our aged side | I |
| Leap our young brown faced shepherds of the rocks | J |
| - | |
| Ah tale that's easy told | I |
| Hold my hand love tighter hold | I |

| If it should ne'er grow old | I |
| Nor matron cap cover this maiden hair | C |

| What if this silver ring | K |
| Loose it clings love yet does cling | K |
| Should ne'er be changed for any other nay | L |
| This very hand I fling | K |
| About your neck should Hush to day's to day | L |
| - | |
| To morrow is ah whose | M |
| You'll not lose love you'll not lose | M |
| This hand I pledged if never a wife's hand | I |
| For tender household use | N |
| Led by your fearless into a far far land | I |
| - | |
| Kiss me and do not grieve | O |
| I believe love I believe | O |
| That He who holds the measure of our days | P |
| And did thus strangely weave | O |
| Our opposite lives together to His praise | P |
| - | |
| He never will divide | I |
| Us so wide love us so wide | I |
| But will whate'er befalls us clearly show | Q |
| That those in Him allied | I |
| In life or death are nearer than they know | Q |
