I

WHEN the glowworms trim their lanterns
And the dusk is fair as day,
When every Jill to her Jan turns
With lips that pout and say,—
Say charily, say warily,
O men, you are not clever,
Say airily, say fairily,
To take our No for Never.

II

When the nightjar thrills the gloaming
With his undulating lay,
While lads and lasses roaming
Turn in the wildwood way,—
Say cheerily, say dearily,
Love knows the woodland blisses,
Say eerily, say wearily,
Love tires at last of kisses.
