Ay I saw her we have metA
Married eyes how sweet they beB
Are you happier MargaretC
Than you might have been with meB
Silence make no more adoD
Did she think I should forgetA
Matters nothing though I knewD
Margaret MargaretC
-
Once those eyes full sweet full shyE
Told a certain thing to mineF
What they told me I put byE
O so careless of the signF
Such an easy thing to takeG
And I did not want it thenH
Fool I wish my heart would breakG
Scorn is hard on hearts of menH
-
Scorn of self is bitter workI
Each of us has felt it nowJ
Bluest skies she counted mirkI
Self betrayed of eyes and browJ
As for me I went my wayK
And a better man drew nighE
Fain to earn with long essayK
What the winner's hand threw byE
-
Matters not in deserts oldL
What was born and waxed and yearnedM
Year to year its meaning toldL
I am come its deeps are learnedM
Come but there is naught to sayK
Married eyes with mine have metA
Silence O I had my dayK
Margaret MargaretC
