KATHLEEN'S LOVER
I would I had a thousand tongues
To sing thy praise, to sing thy praise,
I'd teach the birds on ev'ry tree
To chorus the sweet melody,
For all my days, for all my days.
I wish I had a thousand tongues
To curse thy foe, to curse thy foe,
Fd pray each stormy wind and wave
His house to break, his ship to stave,
To lay him low, to lay him low.
I wish I had a thousand hearts
To love thee more, to love thee more,
Lest one should break before thy tears
Let others come to hush thy fears
And thee adore, and thee adore.
I wish I had a thousand hearts
To hate thy foe, to hate thy foe.
Lest one should dare in pity turn
Let others still with vengeance burn
To lay him low, to lay him low.
