THE WEDDING-DAY Than in wooing? I would wed

When the clover blossoms red,

When the air is full of bliss,

And the sunshine like a kiss.

If you're good I'll grant a boon:

You shall have me, sir, in June.

Nay, nay, nay,

Girls for once should have their way!

If you love me, wait till June:

Rosebuds wither, picked too soon.
