First Line: And when I so long, so long had delay'd
Last Line: Was the silliest far of my silliest actions.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
AND when I so long, so long had delay'd,
In foreign lands had in reveries stay'd,
My loved one found it too long to wait,
And sew'd herself a wedding-dress straight,
And then embraced in her arms, willy-nilly,
As bridegroom, the youth in the world the most silly.
My loved one is so beauteous and soft,
Before me still hovers her image oft;
Her rosy cheeks, her violet eyes
That all the year round glow bright as the skies.
That I could fly from such charming attractions
Was the silliest far of my silliest actions.
