    When the heart inclines to heart,

    If man come not to gather
    The roses where they stand,
    They fade among their foliage,
    They cannot seek his hand.

Never wedding, ever wooing,
Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,
Read you not the wrong you're doing
In my cheek's pale hue?
All my life with sorrow strewing;
Wed or cease to woo.

She that with poetry is won,
Is but a desk to write upon;
And what men say of her they mean
No more than on the thing they lean.

And those who know it best, deplore it most;
When all is won that all desire to woo,
The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.
