Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJAKAK LMLMNONO| Your birthday sweetheart is my birthday too | A |
| For had you not been born | B |
| I who began to live beholding you | A |
| Up early as the morn | B |
| That day in June beside the rose hung stream | C |
| Had never lived at all | D |
| We stood do you remember in a dream | C |
| There by the water fall | D |
| - | |
| You were as still as all the other flowers | E |
| Under the morning's spell | F |
| Sudden two lives were one and all things ours | E |
| How we can never tell | F |
| Surely it had been fated long ago | G |
| What else dear could we think | H |
| It seemed that we had stood for ever so | G |
| There by the river's brink | H |
| - | |
| And all the days that followed seemed as days | I |
| Lived side by side before | J |
| Strangely familiar all your looks and ways | I |
| The very frock you wore | J |
| Nothing seemed strange yet all divinely new | A |
| Known to your finger tips | K |
| Yet filled with wonder every part of you | A |
| Your hair your eyes your lips | K |
| - | |
| The wise in love say love was ever thus | L |
| Through endless Time and Space | M |
| Heart linked to heart beloved as with us | L |
| Only one face one face | M |
| Our own to love however fair the rest | N |
| 'Tis so true lovers are | O |
| For ever breast to breast | N |
| On on from star to star | O |
