XI.

Thus oftentimes these lovers met,
In innocence complete;
The maiden's guileless heart knew naught
Of caution or deceit;
Her gentle eyes are raised to his,
And all her actions prove
The unsuspecting confidence
That marks a virgin's love:
Nor ever had his answ'ring glance
Compelled her to look down;
His eyes spoke only sentiments
Responsive to her own.
