Sentiment .... Stranger to Art. 
I’m weary of your flattering words. 
And never wish to hear 
Again those silly compliments, 
You’ve poured into my ear. 
I’ve often told you in plain terms, 
Love you, I never could; 
If such a thing were possible,— 
I'm sure I never would! 
You look at me with much surprise, 
That I should thus dare speak, — 
You think I ought to bear with you, 
Like ancient Moses meek. 5 
Had you not loved yourself so much, 
And me a little more, 
You might have won my heart perhaps, 
A long, long time before.
