Words by Hugh Morton. Music by Gustave Kerker.
I kneel to thee in fervent prayer,
My misery and my despair
Is more than I can bear,
Oh, lovely lady, my pulses beat,
While cold thou art.
Here, at thy feet, ere I depart,
I lay my breaking heart.
Oh, lovely lady, woman divine,
Love me, love me! my love is thine!
Love me, love met
Lay thou thy heart against my heart,
My hope, my very life thou art!
Woman divine, love me, love me!
My love is thine! love me, love me!
Lay thou thy heart against my heart,
My life thou art! love me!
This tender little song I'll keep within my heart,
And with it plead for love with all a lover's art:
I'll sing and sing again this passionate refrain:
Woman divine, love me, love me!
My love is thine! love me, love me!
Lay thou thy heart against my heart;
My hope, my very life thou art!
Woman divine, love me, love me!
My love is thine! love me, love me!
Lay thou thy heart against my heart;
My life, thou art!
Love me! love me! love me! woman divine!
