Standard (EADGBE)

WHEN LOVE WITH UNCONFINED WINGS HOVERS WITHIN MY GAZE

 AND MY DIVINE ALTHEA BRINGS TO WHISPER AT MY GRATES

 WHEN I LIE TANGLED IN HER HAIR AND FETTERED WITH HER EYES

BIRDS THAT WANTON WING THE AIR OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY

WHEN FLOWING CUPS RUN SWIFTLY ROUND WITH NO ALLAYING THAMES

OUR CARELESS HEADS WITHE ROSES CROWNED OUR HEARTS WITH LOYAL FLAME

WHEN FIRST IN GRIEF IN WINE WE STEEP WHEN HEALTHS AND LAUGHS RUN FREE

FISHES THAT TIPPLE IN THE DEEP OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY

STONE WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE NOR IRON BARS A CAGE

MINDS INNOCENT AND QUIET MAKE THAT AS A HERMITAGE

 IF I HAVE FREEDOM IN MY LOVE AND IN MY SOUL AM FREE

ANGELS ALONE WOULD SOAR ABOVE ENJOY SUCH LIBERTY.
