MY SOPRANO.
Reading edition
(H. L.)
Loving her, what should I fail to do for her?— Keep season on season sunny and blue for her, Lengthen her days like a happy tale, With thoughts all tender and hearts all true for her, Ward her from trouble, good tidings bring to her; Fight for her, laugh with her, comfort her, cling to her, But if I were even a nightingale, I wonder—if I should dare to sing to her!
