My Lady Tis For Thee 1903 'Babette'

If I could look into your eyes
and see the love light there,
there were no Knight in armour bright,
but might of me beware
but might of me beware my dear,
though gallant were his guise,
for ever in my heart I'd bear,
the blessing of your eyes,
for ever I'd bear love,
the blessing of your eyes,

Let hope of thee my guerdon be
my Lady, Lady mine.
I'll bear thy colors on my shield
my honor shall be thine.
I'll wear thine image in my heart
and ne'er shall bend the knee;
then if a hero's wreath be mine
my lady tis for thee.

If then the battle surges round
and foemen are defied,
thy face I'd have to be a star,
to guide me as I ride.
If when the days fierce fight is done
thy hero wounded lies,
he shall not feel the foeman's steel,
if solaced by your eyes,
if I had to cheer me
the thought of your dear eyes

Let hope of thee my guerdon be
my Lady, Lady mine.
I'll bear thy colors on my shield
my honor shall be thine.
I'll wear thine image in my heart
and ne'er shall bend the knee;
then if a hero's wreath be mine
my lady tis for thee.
