A Birthday lyrics

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a purple sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me

Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates
And peac*cks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes
In leaves and silver fleur-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love, is come to me
