C'leste
by Arthur MacyOf sweethearts I have had a score,
And time may bring as many more;
Tho' I remember all the rest,
Just now I worship dear C'leste;
Hers may not be the greatest love,
But ah! it is the latest love.
For little Cupid's never stupid,
As I've found out;
And love is truest when 'tis newest,
Beyond a doubt, beyond a doubt.
Of sweethearts I have had a score,
C'leste says I deserve no more;
I take revenge on dear C'leste,
By telling her I love her best;
Hers may not be the greatest love,
But ah! it is the latest love.
For little Cupid's never stupid,
As I've found out;
And love is truest when 'tis newest,
Beyond a doubt, beyond a doubt.
