Dear Lady, I don't mind admitting to you That my heart greatly trembled and shook at The first time you happened to come to my view, You were awfully hard not to look at! Your manner was modest, I know that it was, But your eyes were so brightly alert with Sheer fun, that I flirted a little because You truly were hard not to flirt with. Then later acquaintance proved this very plain Which all who have known you agree with, To get on without you was sorrow and pain; You were terribly hard not to @3be@1 with. So though I have struggled to keep my heart whole It seems to be useless, and therefore, I've fallen in love with you, body and soul, You are frightfully hard not to care for. I'd resolved I'd remain in a bachelor's state, I thought I was cautious and wary, Yet I march to the altar with manner elate, You're impossibly hard not to marry! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEFORE THE BIRTH OF ONE OF HER CHILDREN by ANNE BRADSTREET A MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY by HENRY VAN DYKE RING FROM THE RIM OF THE GLASS, BOYS by JOHN CLINTON ANTHONY EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 21.
