HOW SHALL "O' How shall I WOO her f-I will stand Reside her when she sings; And watch that fine and fairy hand Fit O'er the quivsring strings: And 1 will tell her, have heard, Though sweet her song may be, A voice, whose every whispered word War more than song to me! How shall woo her ?-I will gaze, In sad and silent trasce, On those dark eyes, whose liquid rays Look love in every glance: And will tell her, eyes more bright, Though bright her own may beam, Will fling deeper spell tonight Upon me in my dream. How shall woo her ?-I will try
 The charms of olden time, And swear by earth and sea and sky, And rave in prose and rhyme ;- And will tell her when l bent
 My knee in other years, I was not half so eloquent,-
 could not speak for tears! How shall woo her 2-I will bow
 Before the holy shrine; And pray the prayer, and vsw the VOW, And press her lips to mine; And will tsll her, when she parts From passion's thrilling kiss, That memory to many hearts
 Is dear0r far than bliss. Away! away! the chords are mute,
 The bond is rent in twain ;- You cannot wake that silent lutc,
 Nor clasp those links again: Love's toll I know is little cost,
 Loves perjury is light sin; But souls that lose what have lost
 What have they left to win?
