Out under the trees
There are wonderful fancies.
When one is at ease,
Out under the trees,
All the world seems to please
Like your sweet, roguish glances.
Out under the trees
There are wonderful fancies.

In some of them, dear,
I dream that you love me;
But I tremble and fear
In some of them, dear,
That you 're fickle, and veer
Like the gay leaves above me.
In some of them, dear,
I dream that you love me.

In the tree is a nest,
Where a mother-bird hovers,
With a song in her breast.
In the tree is a nest;
And is this not the best
For birds, dear, or lovers?
In the tree is a nest
Where a mother-bird hovers.

My roof-tree, my sweet,
Has a nest I have made you.
To this sheltered retreat—
My roof-tree, my sweet—
Will you come—from the heat
Of the world it will shade you?
My roof-tree, my sweet,
Has a nest I have made you.

From my heart a love song
Shall I sing for your pleasure;
Yes, all our life long,
From my heart a love song
Shall gush pure and strong
In victorious measure.
From my heart a love song
Shall I sing for your pleasure.
