For, indeed, thought life's longing
Was tale twice over told.

In return, a curl of hair.
Then l ran, with joyous laughter,
To my pretty sister May,
And, in showing her the token,
Told her what gave away.
Knowingly she smiled at mother,
Who then kissed me on the brow.

Into time and into space,
And the world had offered praises
In behalf of my rich face.

To a day both sweet and fair,
When l gave with pure affection,
