It seems so long since she and I,
Among the throng of passers-by,
Stood reading in each other's eyes
The secret of love's mysteries.

The summer sunlight kissed her lips
And filtered through her finger tips
As, one by one, they brushed away
The curls upon her brow that day.

Her fair hair mocked the summer shine,
Her cheeks were red as scarlet wine,
Her eyes were blue as skies of spring,
When all the wilds are blossoming.

And yet, withal, she was so fair,
I loved and left her hanging there;
Because, alas! this charming dame
Was but a picture in a frame.
