" Dear heart, can not dance"
Now the green Swallowed woods resound
With airs of sunny France:
In many figures DER the ground
The youths and mafdens prance.
But who Is he, far down the glen,
Who eyes this scene askanceY
Who shuns the eyes of maids and mens
It's he who can not dance.
Not dancer Yet see behold him there,
Observe him leap and prance.
