MINE.
For a German Air.
- O HOW my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
- And I drink up joy like wine:
- O how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
- For the lovely girl is mine!
- She’s rich, she’s fair, beyond compare,
- Of noble mind, serene and kind—

- And how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
- For the lovely girl is mine!
- O how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
- In a music soft and fine;
- O how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
- For the girl I love is mine.
- She owns no lands, has no white hands,
- Her lot is poor, her life obscure;—
- Yet how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
- For the girl I love is mine!
