SWEETHEART NELL.
*' Sweetheart Nell, I want to whisper Something tender in your ear ; Something, I, and not the roses, Or the listening robins hear." " Never mind the rose or robin ; If you've something nice to tell," Take a girl's adyice and tell it," Answered laughing sweetheart Nell. "Listen, then ; I love you, darling, More than any words can say ; If I'd make you understand it, I must find some other way. Love must find a better language Than mere spoken words to tell All its passion, all its longing." " Find it, then," laughed sweetheart Nell. ' ' I have often thought that kisses Were the language of the heart, When a lover to his maiden Would his tend'rest thoughts impart. I could make you know in kisses What in words I cannot tell." " Then, if I were you, I'd do it," Laughed bewitching sweetheart Nell.
