You Looked so Tempting in the Pew

YOU looked so tempting in the pew, / You looked so sly and calm- / My trembling fingers played with yours / As both looked out the Psalm.

Your heart beat hard against my arm, / My foot to yours was set, / Your loosened ringlet burned my cheek / Whenever they two met.

O little, little we hearkened, dear, / And little, little cared, / Although the parson sermonised, / The congregation stared.
