the time i've lost in wooing
in watching and pursuing
the light that lies
in young men's eyes
has been my heart's undoing
though wisdom oft had sought me
i scorned the love she bought me
my only wishing
i thought was a blessing
but deceit was all it taught me
his smile when beauty granted
i hung with gaze enchanted
like him the sprite
whom maids by night
oft met in glen that's haunted
like her too; beauty won me
but when the spell was on me
if once their way was turned their way
of winds could not outrun me
and are these follies going?
and is my proud heart still growing?
too cold or wise
for brililant eyes
again to set it glowing?
from bonds so sweet to sever;
poor wisdom's chance
against a glance
is now as weak as ever.
