" MY HEART’S A MERRY ROVER"

My Heart’s A Merry Rover,

     Though Innocent Of Wrong;

Forever Beauty’s Lover,

     Yet Never Constant Long.


When Coral Lips Are Pouting,

     Their Smiling To Disguise,

He Kneels And Loves, Not Doubting

      They Are His Richest Prize.


Yet When, Amid His Dreaming,

     He Spies A Bosom Fair,

At Once The Rogue Is Scheming

     To Gain Admittance There;


Though Should He See The Tresses

     That Frame A Pretty Head,

His Love And His Caresses

     He Spends On Them Instead.


Then, If Bright Eyes Confuse Him

     With Many A Saucy Stare,

The Lips, The Curls, The Bosom

     Must Mourn Their Worshiper.


And Yet This Merry Rover

     Is Nothing If Not True,

He’s But One Maiden’s Lover,

     And, Dearest, She Is You.
