The Question
Oh , tell me how to woo and win,”
The shepherd sang. The echoes flew
Adown the vale, now loud, now thin,
And answered only, “ Win and woo .”
“But I am not a shepherd lad,
So tell me, Echo sweet,” said I.
“How shall my heart's long wish be had?”
“Had—wish you had!” was its reply.
“No common word can make her mine;
No common love do I adore:
Toward me does her heart incline?”
But Echo would reply no more.
