My charming neighbour's curtain
Is moving, I declare:
She's coming—I feel certain—
To woo the evening air.
She wishes to discover,
(Oh how my heart doth beat!)
If I her well-dressed lover
Am watching in the street.
Alas! I am mistaken—
She loves a country lout—
And if her curtain's shaken
'Tis by the wind, no doubt!
