A picture of radiant beauty
With a rare and mellow tone—
It was the light and idyl
Of an humble, country home. •
I love this country maiden,
•
The rare and charming Ruth,
I love her for her beauty,
And I love her for her truth.

She loves me;
Her brown eyes glow with soft love-light,
These lips, these hands, my welcome show.
A moment,—then the lashes fall
Lest I, too well, this secret know

Those sparkling eyes, that cheek aglow
May slime with trust, grow warm with love
But not for me; they bring me woe,
She loves me not.
film' loves me;
The tantilizing little witch,
Her sweet smile drives away despair.

Has vanished too, for now I'd swear
She loves me.
