I Am Thine and Thou Art Mine

 

 

Many waters cannot quench my love,

But neither can the floods drown my love.

Kiss me with the kisses of thy mouth,

Thou hast ravished me , my sister, O my spouse.

 

I am thine and Thou art mine,

I am thine and Thou art mine.

Behold! Thou art so fair, my love,

How much sweeter is thy love than wine.

 

Now I sleep but my heart waketh,

For thine eyes have overcome me.

You cause the lips of one that sleeps to speaketh,

Draw me and I will run after thee.

 

I am thine and Thou art mine,

I am thine and Thou art mine.

Behold! Thou art so fair, my love,

How much sweeter is thy love than wine.

 

O, thy lips are like a thread of scarlet.

Where hast thou gone, O my beloved,

Now that I am so lovesick,

Now that I am so lovesick?

 

I am thine and Thou art mine,

I am thine and Thou art mine.

Behold! Thou art so fair, my love,

How much sweeter is thy love than wine.
