To think more happy thou hadst read more

My fond affection thou hast seen,
Then judge of my regret
To think more happy thou hadst been

Ah, no! that smiling cheek
Proves more unchanging love for me
Than labor'd words could speak.

Her steps, I thought if I could find
A wife I read more

Her steps, I thought if I could find
A wife I need not blush to show
I've little further now to go.
