Under the lindens

J. Fuchs

Under the lindens lately sat

A couple, and no more, in chat;

I wondered what they would be at

Under the lindens.

I saw four eyes and four lips meet,

I heard the words

How sweet! how sweet!

Had then the Faeries given a treat

Under the lindens?

I pondered long and could not tell

What dainty pleased them both so well:

Bees! bees! was it your hydromel

Under the lindens?
