Does the Princess love the Queen?

Are Prince Leopold and Arthur,
Though within a palace bred,
Dearer than my little brothers
Playing 'neath the cottage shed?

There's a group of Royal sisters
Clustering round the English throne,
But I know they are not truer,
Better sisters than mine own.

Hark! it is the trumpet sounding;
At the Prince of Prussia's side
Standeth now her Royal Highness;
Oh, I would not be the bride!

For a manly voice hath whispered,
"Dearer than my life thou art!"
What care I who rules a kingdom
If I rule in Jamie's heart?

I am but a peasant's daughter,
And the wealthy pass me by,--
But there's not in merry England
A happier maid than I.
