There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four

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

Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,

In my cheek's pale hue?
All my life with sorrow strewing;
Wed or cease to woo.

His stripling Will, the thoughtful-eyed
As to the pipe of Pan,
Stepped blithesomely with lover's pride
Across the fields to Anne.
