    'Tis an old lesson; time approves it true,
    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.

Is but a desk to write upon;
And what men say of her they mean
No more than on the thing they lean.

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.

How often in the summer-tide,
His graver business set aside,
His stripling Will, the thoughtful-eyed
As to the pipe of Pan,
Stepped blithesomely with lover's pride
Across the fields to Anne.

Woo the fair one when around
Early birds are singing;
When o'er all the fragrant ground

Woo the fair one when around
Early birds are singing;
When o'er all the fragrant ground
Early herbs are springing:
When the brookside, bank, and grove
All with blossom laden,
Shine with beauty, breathe of love,
Woo the timid maiden.
