What a name! Was it love or praise? Speech half-asleep or song half-awake? I must learn Spanish, one of these days, Only for that slow sweet name's sake.
Who knows most, doubts most; entertaining hope means recognizing fear.
Might she have loved me? just as well She might have hated, who can tell!
Let friend trust friends, and love demand love's like.
Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
