James Whitcomb Riley - The Rival lyrics

I so loved once, when d**h came by I hid Away my face, And all my sweetheart's tresses she undid To make my hiding-place. The dread shade pa**ed me thus unheeding; and I turned me then To calm my love--kiss down her shielding hand And comfort her again. And lo! she answered not: And she did sit All fixedly, With her fair face and the sweet smile of it, In love with d**h, not me.
