Airy, fairy Lilian, 
Flitting, fairy Lilian, 
When I ask her if she love me, 
Clasps her tiny hands above me, 
Laughing all she can ; 
She’ll not tell me if she love me, 
Cruel little Lilian. 
When my passion seeks 
Pleasance in love-sighs, 
She, looking through and through me 
Thoroughly to undo me. 
Smiling, never speaks : 
So innocent, arch, so cunning — simple, 
From beneath her gathered whimple, 
Glancing with black-beaded eyes, 
Till the lightning laughters dimple 
The baby roses in her cheeks ; 
Then away she flies. 
Tennyson.
