A PROBLEM.

A PROBLEM.
MY darling has a merry eye,
And voice like silver bells:
How shall I win her, prithee, say;—
By what magic spells?

If I frown, she shakes her head
If I weep, she smiles:
Time would fail me to recount
All her wilful wiles.

She flouts me so,—he stings me so,—
Yet will not let me stir,—
In vain I try to pass her by,
My little chestnut bur.
