Truthful Love.

Oh smiling-eyes and darling-heart;
I'm sitting at your feet;
Who ever thought to find on earth
One so beguiling-sweet?
I long to kiss your pretty hands,
My heart cries out aglow,
I love you, love you, smiling-eyes—
And goodness knows, it's so.
Oh darling-heart and smiling-eyes
You're so bewitching-dear,
I'd like to spend enchanted days
Just sitting by you here;
My voice implore, ah, may I stay
And never, never go?
You are so sweet, dear darling-heart,
I'm sure you will say no.
