When the heart-keepers fell,
My muslin veil, it did descend,
My muslin veil,
Each moment's price, it did demand,
My muslin veil,
Oh, my muslin veil.

My youth to you, it speaks and cries,
Beloved, take this sign, this prize,
My youth to you, it speaks and cries,
Beloved, take this sign, this prize,
Beloved, take this sign, this prize,
Come, take it now,
Come, take it now, for tomorrow's trust, it denies,
My muslin veil,
Oh, my muslin veil.

To my breast, I've held it near,
Upon my bloom, I set my fear,
To my breast, I've held it near,
Upon my bloom, I set my fear,
Upon my bloom, I set my fear,
A guardian now,
A guardian now, of youth's fair sphere,
When the heart-keepers fell,
My muslin veil, it did descend,
Oh, my muslin veil.
When the heart-keepers fell,
My muslin veil, it did descend,
Oh, my muslin veil.
Each moment's price, it did demand,
My muslin veil,
Oh, my muslin veil.
