No wood-nymph, clad in gossamer,

A-treading daisied meads,

No saintly nun, from sun to sun

A-telling of her beads:

She’s not the girl who wept upon

Our shirt-front on the quay!

She is no Frenchified Mignonne!

No Scotch lass frae the Dee!

No leaf culled from Romance’s page,

No scintillating star,
