Larghetto

 Grant me but a day, love, 
But a day, 
Ere I give my heart, 
My heart away, 
Ere I say the word 
I'll ne'er unsay.
 

Is it earnest with me? 
Is it play? 
Did the world in arms 
Cry to me, "Stay!" 
Not a moment then 
Would I delay.
 

Yet, for very love, 
I say thee nay.
 
Ere I give my heart, 
My heart away, 
Grant me but a day, love, 
But a day!
