You have heard of the Danish boys
whistle of wood?
wish that that Danish boys whis-
tie were mine"
"And what would you do with 1t?
Tell me- she said,
While an arch smile played over
her beautiful face,
'I would blow it," he answered, land
then my fair maid
Would fly to my side, and would
here take her place
"Is that all you wish it for? That
may be yours
Without any magic" the fair maid
4 en- cried:
"a favor so slight ones good nature
secures"
And she playfully seated herself by
his SIDE
'I would blow 1t again. said the
youth, "and the charm
Would work so. that not even Mod
esty's cheek
Would be able to keep from my neck
your fine ARM"
She smiled-and she laid her fine
arm round his neck.
"Yet once more would 1 blow, and
the music divine
Would bring me the third time an
exquisite bliss;
You would lay your fair cheek to
this brown one of mine,
And your lips, stealing past it, would
give me kiss
The maiden laughed out in her inno-
cent glee-
What a fool of yourself with your
whistle you'd make.
For only consider, how silly 'twould
be
To sit there and whistle for-what
you might take.'
