AH, LASSIE FAIR! by S. G. TENNEY

Last Line: "AH, LAISSEZ FAIRE!"
Subject(s): COURTSHIP; FLIRTATION;

AH, lassie fair! thine eyes of blue
Betray a heart both warm and true;
Yet something bids me stay, beware,
For thou art false as well as fair,
As fickle as the morning dew.

Yet, pretty maid, I would I knew
The shortest way to win and woo,
For then my love should ne'er despair,
Ah, lassie fair!

Her soft cheeks tinged a deeper hue,
A charming glance at me she threw.
She tossed her wealth of dark brown hair
With such a gay, coquettish air:
"Monsieur, pardonnez-moi, -- adieu.
@3Ah, laissez faire!@1"
