Voices Of Women

By Frank James Prewett

Met ye my love? Ye might in France have met him; He has a wooing smile, Who sees cannot forget him! Met ye my Love? We shared full many a mile. Saw ye my Love? In lands far-off he has been, With his yellow-tinted hair, In Egypt such ye have seen; Ye knew my love? I was his brother there. Heard ye my love? My love ye must have heard, For his voice when he will Tinkles like cry of a bird; Heard ye my love? We sang on a Grecian hill. Behold your love, And how shall I forget him, His smile, his hair, his song? Alas, no maid shall get him For all her love, Where he sleeps a million strong.
