LESLIE.

Seeing me enter
Crosses the floor:—
Leslie is lovely,
Sister and more.
Putteth her face up
Once to be kissed;
What shall the word be?
Love-in-a-mist!
Now must she leave me,
Crossing the floor:—
Leslie is lovely,
Sister and more.
Fain to be with her,
Loth to depart;
Present or absent,
Filling my heart.
What should the word be,
Here by the door?
Leslie is lovely,
Sister and more.
