She is neither pink nor pale, / And she never will be all mine;

She learned her hands in a fairy-tale, / And her mouth on a valentine.

She has more hair than she needs;

/ In the sun 'tis a woe to me

And her voice is a string of coloured beads, / Or steps leading into the sea.

She loves me all that she can, / And her ways to my ways resign;

But she was not made for any man, / And she never will be all mine.
