Although within this very hour
There's chance to gain a royal bride,
I'm glad it's still within my power
To choose but you as wife and guide.
And if the very wisest sages
All bade me choose the royal life,
I still would wait throughout the ages
If I could claim thee as my wife.
Both:
Thy smile commands me do thy bidding.
Thy hands direct me to thy heart.
Thine eyes give light, all darkness ridding.
Thy lips, our words of love impart.
Daisy:
Although I've had the strictest warning
To marry only in my clan,
No words have I the fear of scorning
That lead me to another man.
And if the very wisest sages
All bade me keep the Indian life,
I still would wait throughout the ages
If you would claim me as thy wife.
Both:
Thy smile commands me do thy bidding.
Thy hands direct me to thy heart.
Thine eyes give light, all darkness ridding.
Thy lips, our words of love impart.
