Though thou wert fain to pass me quickly,<br />

Yet backward didst thou look by chance;<br />

Thy wistful lips were frankly parted,<br />

Impetuous scorn was in thy glance.<br />

Would that I ne'er had sought to hold thee,<br />

To touch thy fleeing gown's white train!<br />

The dear mark of thy tiny footprints<br />

Would that I ne'er had found again!<br />

For now thy rare wild charm has vanished.<br />

Like others thou art tame to see,<br />

Intolerably kind and gentle—<br />

Alas! thou art in love with me.<br />
