• A noisette on my garden path
      An ever-swaying shadow throws;
    But if I pluck it strolling by,
      I pluck the shadow with the rose.

    Just near enough my heart you stood
      To shadow it,—but was it fair
    In him, who plucked and bore you off,
      To leave your shadow lingering there?
