But our love is more artful by far than the love

Of those who are older than we,—

Of many far wiser than we,—

And neither the girls that are living above,

Nor the girls that are down in town,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Samuel Brown.

For the morn never shines, without bringing me lines,

From my beautiful Samuel Brown;

And the night's never dark, but I sit in the park
