Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love) Lyrics

I love thee
More than the meadow with grass so still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds on the mayapple tree
I love thee

Arms have I
Strong as the oak for this occasion
Lips have I
To kiss thee sweet in friendly persuasion
Thee is mine

Though I don′t know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
I have on my bonnet, my cape, and my gloves
And I'll go with thee, for thee I love
