LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Not long ago I fell in love,

But unreturned is my affection—

Pays little heed in my direction.

In fact, I'd had my arm around her;

How unresponsive I have found her.

Her manners quite the wrong way rub me:

To let me love her—and then snub me!

She shows no gladness when she spies me—

And doesn't even recognize me.

Seem asking if I can support her

A lady like her father's daughter.

And let me add that I intend to:

So fit for her to be a friend to.

By Jove, I'll make her love me one day;

And she'll be three weeks old on Sunday!

... It's hard to have to tell
How unresponsive I have found her.
