Two Songs

By Charles Sydney

I
My love is selfish and unfair,Her kisses fall so thick and fast,That while I wait to give my share,The priceless time is past.
And I have been to blame till now,For I have let her do her will;I thought it courteous to allowMy love to take her fill,
Trusting a time would quickly be,When she would stay and look for mine;But having borne it patiently,I will no longer pine.
I'll fold her in my arms to-night,And justice on her lips I'll wreak:I'll teach my love to know the right,And not oppress the meek!
