Polly Stewart by Ludwig van Beethoven Lyrics

O lovely Polly Stewart
O charming Polly Stewart
There's not a flower that blooms in May
That's half so fair as thou art

The flower it blaws, it fades and fa's
And art can ne'er renew it ;
But Worth and Truth eternal Youth
Will give to Polly Stewart!

May he who wins thy matchless charms
Possess a leal a true heart !
To him be given to ken the heav'n
He gains in Polly Stewart!

O lovely Polly Stewart
O charming Polly Stewart
There's not a flower that blooms in May
That's half so fair as thou art
