If I propose a walk, a ride, A round of golf, or aught beside, You 're almost certain to decline To make your plans accord with mine— Yet if I go away you chide. How many, many times I 've tried For your amusement to provide, But dance nor play—nothing is fine If I propose. Henceforth I 'll not attempt to guide My Lady fair, but shall abide In peace unique and masculine— Confound it! I shall not repine, But don't refuse to be my bride If I propose. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
