O happy eyes, for you will see
My love, my lady pass today;
What I may not, that may you say
And ask for answer daringly
O happy eyes

O happy flow'rs that touch her dress
That touch her dress and take her smile
O whisper to her all the while
Some words of love in idleness
O happy flowers

O happy airs that touch her cheek
And lightly kiss and float away
So carelessly as if in play
Why take ye all the joy I seek?

O happy eyes my love to see
Alas! alas! I may not greet
With word or touch my lady sweet;
More happy eyes, say all for me
