Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCGCG HIHICJC

Hark a lover binding sheavesA
To his maiden singsB
Flutter flutter go the leavesA
Larks drop their wingsB
Little brooks for all their mirthC
Are not blythe as heD
Give me what the love is worthC
That I give theeD
-
Speech that cannot be forborneE
Tells the story throughF
I sowed my love in with the cornE
And they both grewF
Count the world full wide of girthC
And hived honey sweetG
But count the love of more worthC
Laid at thy feetG
-
Money's worth is house and landH
Velvet coat and vestI
Work's worth is bread in handH
Ay and sweet restI
Wilt thou learn what love is worthC
Ah she sits aboveJ
Sighing 'Weigh me not with earthC
Love's worth is love '-
