THE WINDOW; OR, THE SONG OF THE WRENS: THE LETTER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Where is another sweet as my sweet
Last Line: Somebody knows that she'll say ay!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tennyson, Lord Alfred; Tennyson, 1st Baron; Tennyson Of Aldworth And Farringford, Baron
Subject(s): Love


Where is another sweet as my sweet,
Fine of the fine, and shy of the shy?
Fine little hands, fine little feet --
Dewy blue eye.
Shall I write to her? shall I go?
Ask her to marry me by and by?
Somebody said that she 'd say no;
Somebody knows that she'll say ay!

Ay or no, if ask'd to her face?
Ay or no, from shy of the shy?
Go, little letter, apace, apace,
Fly;
Fly to the light in the valley below --
Tell my wish to her dewy blue eye.
Somebody said that she'd say no;
Somebody knows that she'll say ay!
