Not only is my love a flower
That blooms in broad daylight,
But, like the Evening Primrose, it
Can bloom again at night.

My heart, though I have reached my prime,
It still beats fresh and young;
I tremble at sweet Beauty's glance,
And Love is still my song.

At thy bright smile I burn and shake,
Though treated as thy brother:
Canst thou not see my eyes have twins
That laugh and call thee mother?
