Folk-Songs: “O dove, that flying o’er the hill”

O DOVE, that flying o’er the hill, dost stay thee

To make thy nest among the stones for cover,

Lend me a feather from thy wing, I pray thee,

That I may write a letter to my lover.

And when it’s writ all fine, and doth content me,

I’ll give thee back the pen that thou hast lent me;

And when it’s written out and sealed together,

O dove, I’ll give thee back the love-steeped feather.
