Smile kindly love when we shall meet
Think kind too when we part
For these love are the bitter sweet
That warm or chill the heart
A doubtful word, an awkward look
Interpreted unkind
Is printed in loves motley book
Which years will keep in mind.

Let our first meeting love be smiles
That spring itself puts on
For nothing more the heart beguiles
For absent shadows gone
Thy first words be they sweet & few
And nothing speak in vain
And loves first kiss once felt so true
Will be the same again.
