MY heart is perplexed, though I’ve tried to discover

An answer to solve what it is that I miss,

Though I’ve questioned myself more that twenty times over,

There seems no reply to a question like this.

My friends meet me gladly with words kindly spoken,

Salutations of praises and sometimes a kiss,

And looks sent along with a sweet flower token.

I find in my room—there is something I miss.

The blaze up the chimney this evening is talking,
