Once again, sweet Willow, wave thee!
       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspWhy stays my Love?
Bend, and in yon streamlet—lave thee!
       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspWhy stays my Love?
Oft have I at evening straying,
Stood, thy branches long surveying,
Graceful in the light breeze playing,—
       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspWhy stays my Love?
