My true love hath my heart, And I have his,
By just exchange, one to the other given:
I hold his dear, And mine he cannot miss,
There never was a better bargain driven:


My true love hath my heart, and I have his.
His heart in me keeps him and me in one,
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
He loves my heart, for once it was his own,
I cherish his because in me it bides:


My true love hath my heart, and I have his.


Lyrics: Sir Philip Sidney (??)
