Is tleklingly delicious. Oh.

Then. as you press her hand again,
And vow you love her dearly,
You watch the blood mouut to hezehesk-
You see it p!siuly-clearly;
You're pushed to. think of what to say,
You get confused with sueing.
But all, at last, comes out right
Oh, ant it 1cs, this wooins?
You let her st upon your knee;
She leans against your shoulder;
You feel love burning through yOnr veins,
While thus you fondly hold her;
To speak ormove would break the spell
So silently pursuing
Your inward thoughts make up your mind
There's naught SO sweet as wooing.
