A Womans Shortcomings
Sly as if she sighed,
Sed six, and over,
Of a purse ried -
Ohy lover!
t;give imequot;; for slip
the grooving;
So none h her fair red lip:
But love seeks truer loving.
Srembles ness dumb,
As s were beyond recalling;
ith a glance for one, and a glance for some,
From her eyelids rising and falling;
Speaks common h a blushful air,
hears bold words, unreproving;
But she never will swear -
And love seeks better loving.
Go, lady! lean to t-guitar,
And drop a smile to the bringer;
tly, when he is far,
At the voice of an in-door singer.
Bask tenderly beneatender eyes;
Glance ligheir removing;
And join neo old perjuries -
But dare not call it loving!
Unless you can the song is done,
No ot in thm;
Unless you can feel, w by One,
t all men else go h him;
Unless you can know, wh,
t your beauty itself s proving;
Unless you can s;For life, for deat; -
Oo call it loving!
Unless you can muse in a crowd all day
On t face t fixed you;
Unless you can love, as the angels may,
it you;
Unless you can dream t ,
through behoving and unbehoving;
Unless you can die w -
O loving!
