English poem
A Few Resolutions.
by Thomas Winthrop Hall (1862–1900)
He shall never know that I love him— Until he asks if I do. And I'll feel very much above him— When he stoops to tie my shoe.
And I shall never kiss him— Until he kisses me. And I shall never miss him— Till he sails over the sea.
And I shall never wed him, Nor call myself his bride— Till Cupid and I have led him Right up to the minister's side.
