Чарльз Вильерс Стэнфорд (2) - My love's an arbutus - ноты, текст песни (слова)

My love's an arbutus
 By the borders of Lene,
 So slender and shapely
 In her girdle of green.
 And I measure the pleasure
 Of her eyes' sapphire sheen
 By the blue skies that sparkle
 Through the soft branching screen.
 But though ruddy the berry
 And snowy the flower
 That brighten together
 The arbutus bower,
 Perfuming and blooming
 Through sunshine and shower,
 Give me her bright lips
 And her laugh's pearly dower.
 Alas, fruit and blossom
 Shall lie dead on the lea,
 And Time's jealous fingers
 Dim your young charms, Machree.
 But unranging, unchanging,
 You'll still cling to me,
 Like the evergreen leaf
 To the arbutus tree.
