    To this maiden fair I did declare the love for her I bore.
    And said if she rejected me my days on earth were o'er
    "Now your answer give that I might live and morning, night, and noon.
    For you I'll pray my lovely maid,
    The Star of Royal Doon"

    'T'was with a sigh she did reply, "I own I love you true
    And if to spare your life I'll be your wife and constant be to you.
    So you may roam to my father's home when shines the silvery moon.
    If you do love your gentle dove
    The star of Royal Doon"
