Fatherly Advice

How shall I know my love?
By heart afire, my boy,
By loving tender of
Her effort for thy joy.
How shall I know her heart?
By what is in her eye;
By every stop and start
And every stare and sigh.
How shall she know mine?
By reciprocity
By equalling each sign
That she might give to thee.
By that, my loving son,
Her heart and thine are won.
