    Woo the fair one when around
    Early birds are singing;
    When o'er all the fragrant ground
    Early herbs are springing:
    When the brookside, bank, and grove
    All with blossom laden,
    Shine with beauty, breathe of love,
    Woo the timid maiden.

And what men say of her they mean
No more than on the thing they lean.

The roses where they stand,
They fade among their foliage,
They cannot seek his hand.

How often in the summer-tide,
His graver business set aside,
His stripling Will, the thoughtful-eyed
As to the pipe of Pan,
Stepped blithesomely with lover's pride
Across the fields to Anne.
