SO SWEET, by                    
First Line: I know not who the maid may be
Last Line: And life will be so sad and yet / so sweet
Subject(s): Flirtation;longing


I KNOW not who the maid may be,
And whether she be fair or sweet;
I only know she cast on me
A glance that made my pulses beat,
And that her face was very fair
And sweet.

I know that if the fates are kind,
And she and I do ever meet,
Enraptured by her glance once more,
I shall fall kneeling at her feet,
Confessing all my love for her
So sweet.

But if the fates relentless prove,
And she and I do never meet,
I know I ne'er can love again,
For all my love is at her feet,
And life will be so sad and yet
So sweet.
