Love
You smiled, you spoke, and I believed
From Lyra Elegantiarum, ed. Frederick Locker (London: E. Moxon, 1867)
Love
You smiled, you spoke, and I believed,
By every word and smile deceived.
Another man would hope no more;
Nor hope I what I hoped before:
But let not this last wish be vain;
Deceive, deceive me once again!
