Is love contagious? -- I don't know; But this I am prepared to say, That I have felt for many a day A great desire to make it so. Does she vouchsafe a thought of me? Sometimes I think she does; and then I'm forced to grope in doubt again, Which seems my normal state to be. Why don't I ask, and asking know? I grant perhaps it might be wise; But when I look into her eyes, And hear her voice which thrills me so, I think that on the whole I won't; I'd rather doubt than know she don't. |
