Defton Wood.Iheld my way through Defton Wood,And on to Wandor Hall ;The dancing leaf let down the light,In hovering spots to fall.“ O young, young leaves, you match me well,”My heart was merry, and sung—“ Now wish me joy of my sweet youth ;My love—she, too, is young !O so many, many, manyLittle homes above my head !O so many, many, manyDancing blossoms round me spread !O, so many, many, manyMaidens sighing yet for none !Speed, ye wooers, speed with any—Speed with all but one.”I took my leave of Wandor Hall,And trod the woodland ways.What shall I do so long to bearThe burden of my days ?”I sighed my heart into the boughsWhereby the culvers cooed ;For only I between them wentUnwooing and unwooed.“ O, so many, many, manyLilies bending stately heads !O, so many, many, manyStrawberries ripened on their beds !O, so many, many, manyMaids, and yet my heart undone !What to me are all, are any—I have lost my—one.”
