But they might be decidedly worse!

I am waiting, still waiting, to greet her!—

Here all night I'm determined to stand,

For a prettier girl, or a sweeter,

There is not to be seen in the land!

If I go, I am sure to regret it,

So I'll make up my mind here to stay.

What though time is departing? Well, let it!

I shall wait here for ever and aye!
