| What though these years of ours be fleeting | G |
| What though the years of youth be flown | H |
| I'll mock old Tempus with repeating | G |
| I love my love and her alone | H |

| And when I fall before his reaping | G |

| So take dear love this little token | A |
| And if there speaks in any line | F |
| The sentiment I'd fain have spoken | A |
| Say will you kiss your Valentine | F |
