I know her eyes are peerless blue,

Long lashes downward sweeping;

A snow-white ruff around her throat,

Beneath her pouting petticoat

A little foot out-peeping.

O, is she wooed and is she won,

Or is she very fond of fun?

I make a thousand guesses!

A sweet young face, so full of hope,

A dainty hand on tiller-rope,
