The beams of our house are cedar The rafters are made of fir Set me as a seal upon your arm Set me as a seal upon your heart The beams of our house are cedar The rafters are made of fir Set me as a seal upon your arm Set me as a seal upon your heart For our love is stronger than death Jealousy is fierce as the grave Its flashes are flashes made of fire Many waters cannot quench our love Neither can floods a-drown it Rivers cannot wash it away An earthquake cannot separate My love nor tear it away Let the morning bring word of my love Unfailing as the night For I have put all my trust in you Show me the way to go with you You have so caught my heart With but one glance of yours Your eyes are like the jewels, my love That rest in a royal crown Kiss me on the mouth, my love Its taste is sweeter than wine Lead me to the banquet hall Fly your banner o'er my heart Strengthen me with raisins, dear Share bright apples picked so fresh For I am faint with love for thee For I am faint with love Your fragrance is like a perfume Your name perfume poured out Take me home with you, let's hurry Take me home with you Love will awaken when it desires Love has awakened here Rise my love, rise up, my fair one Come away with me. And I'll come right home to thee For I am my beloved's And my beloved is mine Rise my love, rise up, my fair one Come away with me Entreat me not to leave, my dear Or to turn away from you Wherever you will go, I'll go Where you will lodge, I'll lodge Your people shall be my people Your queen shall be my queen Where you die, I will die And love the only thing to part us But love is stronger than death Love is stronger than death I am yours, and you are mine Let's gaze upon the lilies of the valley From our house of cedar and fir Our names a seal upon our hearts I am yours, and you are mine A love so great returned in kind From our house of cedar and fir Our names a seal upon our hearts I am yours, and you are mine A love so great returned in kind
