English text

Fair is the miller’s daughter too,
With her locks of golden hair,
With her laughing eye and sunny brow;
Still better is she than fair.
She hath lighten’d toil
With her winning smile;
And if ever his heart was sad,
Let her sing the song
He hath loved so long,
And the miller’s heart was glad.
