I could find no flowers, dear,—

It was when all sweets were over

Thou wert born to bless the year.

But I've brought thee jewels, dearest,

In thy bonny locks to shine,—

And if love shows in their glances,

They have learn'd that look of mine!

[I LOVE THEE.]

I love thee—I love thee!

'Tis all that I can say;—
