I DO not love you very much,
Only your tuneful voice,
Which, in a happy moment, takes
The music of my choice.

I do not love you, dear, at all,
Only your merry ways,
Which linger in my mind, and set
Me dreaming through the days.

In truth, I think it is dislike
You kindle in my heart,
Because you come so joyously
To steal so large a part.
