O you love me?" she said, when the skies were blue,
 * And we walked where the stream through the branches glistened;

And I told and retold her my love was true,
 * While she listened and smiled, and smiled and listened.

"Do you love me?" she whispered, when days were drear,
 * And her eyes searched mine with a patient yearning;

And I kissed her, renewing the words so dear,
 * While she listened and smiled, as if slowly learning.
