Summary

TO A WEEPING TEEN

Márgarét, dón't be gríeving

Just because Eugene is leaving.

Hé, líke a very man! You,

Young as yet, who's sadder thán you?

Déar, ás your heart grows older

It will come to such things colder

By and by, nor waste a sigh

When passing lovers wave good-bye,

Nor will you weep nor doubt why.

For no matter what his name,

Pléasure's fálls áre the same,

Though every heart and maiden breast

Longs to deny what you have guessed:

It ís the fate you were meant for,

Every woman you lament for.
