So merrily speak one word to me
No more I’ll cause you pain
No more I’ll break your loving heart
Nor ever get drunk again

[_] merrily speak his [_] voice
“I know it is” she cried
I woke and true my [_] was kneeling by my side

I pressed her to my throbbing heart
While joy with tears we flow
And ever since has heaven blessed
For sending me that dream
