If Samel Ferguson ever wrote a third verse to this, it doesn't get included in printed versions in anthologies.

I'd not be surprised if someone might have lifted a verse with a similar metrical structure from another song to serve as a third verse. (That's happened, for example, with Yeats' Salley Gardens, using lines from AE Housman's Shropshire Lad.)

Hi all .. thanks for the replies. Well, I add the third verse as far as I remember:

And when my love does on so true
Telling of his souls secrets
And speaking all those words of love
And I long to hear him say
Then our two hearts join as one
...................
As we hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day.

So it´s just the one line missing, and I tried to find an own one, but I´m not really satisfied ... Btw ... seems it´s a great site and I surely will visit quite often.
