| MY LILLA gave me yester morn | 1 |
| A rose methinks in Eden born, | 2 |
| And as she gave it, little elf, | 3 |
| Blushed like another rose herself | 4 |
| Then said I, full of tenderness, | 5 |
| "Since this sweet rose I owe to you, | 6 |
| "Dear girl, why may I not possess | 7 |
| "The lovelier rose that gave it too?" | 8 |
