How Love is Found

How oft' does thy heart beat for her?
And how then does it sound?
A soft and lowly melody?
Or rhythmic, strong and loud?
When ever she may walk thy way
Or by chance when she sings
Does then thy heart beat differently
By step or harmony?
And if per chance she spoke to thee
With sweet and sultry words
Would thou speak quickly in reply
Or beat response unheard?
How oft' does thy heart beat for her?
And how then does it sound?
By seconds, hours, thoughts of her?
Is this how love is found?
