Though thou wert fain to pass me quickly, Yet backward didst thou look by chance; Thy wistful lips were frankly parted, Impetuous scorn was in thy glance. Would that I ne'er had sought to hold thee, To touch thy fleeing gown's white train! The dear mark of thy tiny footprints Would that I ne'er had found again! For now thy rare wild charm has vanished. Like others thou art tame to see, Intolerably kind and gentle— Alas! thou art in love with me. 204
