He saw me—swift as thought from off thee leaping,
He led thee by one hand;
And with the other clasped me, sweetly keeping
Me under Love’s command.

While I, deep blushing, saw and read the story
That through his blue eyes shone.
We sat, and let thee browse—came some light laughter
To ease our brimming hearts,
