as the "Genii" from the vase
And I thrill beneath the glances
of a pair of azure eyes
As glowing as the summer
and as tender as the skies.

As glowing as the summer
and as tender as the skies.
I can see the pink sunbonnet
and the little, checkered dress
She wore when first I kissed her
and she answered the caress
and the little, checkered dress
She wore when first I kissed her
and she answered the caress
With the written declaration that,
"As surely as the vine
Grew 'round the stump," she loved me—
that old sweetheart of mine.

that old sweetheart of mine.
Again I make her presents,
in a really helpless way,—
The big "Rhode Island Greening"—
(I was hungry too, that day!)—

But I follow her from Spelling,
with her hand behind her—so—
And I slip the apple in it—
and the Teacher doesn't know!
with her hand behind her—so—
And I slip the apple in it—
and the Teacher doesn't know!
I give my treasures to her—all,—
my pencil—blue-and-red;—
And, if little girls played marbles,
mine should all be hers, instead!—

And, if little girls played marbles,
mine should all be hers, instead!—
But she gave me her photograph,
and printed "Ever Thine"
Across the back—in blue-and-red—
that old sweetheart of mine!

Across the back—in blue-and-red—

And again I feel the pressure
of her slender little hand,
As we used to talk together
of the future we had planned,—
of her slender little hand,
As we used to talk together
of the future we had planned,—
When I should be a poet,
and with nothing else to do
But write the tender verses
that she set the music to....
and with nothing else to do
But write the tender verses
that she set the music to....
When we should live together
in a cozy little cot
Hid in a nest of roses,
with a fairy garden-spot,
in a cozy little cot
Hid in a nest of roses,
with a fairy garden-spot,
Where the vines were ever fruited
and the weather ever fine,
And the birds were ever singing
for that old sweetheart of mine....
