At what age does love begin?
Your blue eyes have scarcely seen
Summers three, my fairy queen;
But miracle OF sweets, 4li

Show the little archer there,
Hidden in your pretty hair;
When didst learn heart to VIM

When does hOary love expire,
When do trosts put out the nre2

All that chill December snow?

Benny hands to sOOthe and bless?
When does love give up the chaser
Tell, q tell me, Grizzled-tace!
