Never Court but One.

Never Court but One.
454.1

I have finished him a letter telling him he’s free!
From this moment and forever he la nothing more to ma
And my heart feels lighter. #ayer, since the deed at last in done
I will teach him that while courting he should never court but one.

Eversbody in the village knows that he’s been courting me
And this morning he went riding with that muer Anna Lee
And they any he suited upon her as he cantered by her side.
And it warrant you he’s promised her to make her soon his bride

Now the letter. It is finished, from this moment he is free.
He may have her. If he wants her, if he loves her more than me.
He may wo It will not kill me, and I’d say the same, so there.
If I knew it was just Birting it is more than I can bear.

It was twilight in the evening when he said he’d
Visit me, But perhaps he’s now with Anne.
He may stay there, too, for me.
And as sure as I am living.
If he ever courts her more.
I will act as if we never, never, never met before.
It is time he should be coming. and I wonder it he wil
If he does I’ll act so coldly-what’s yon shadow on the hillt
I declare, and in the twilight, there is some one coming near,
And I pray is him a-coming. Oh, why did I act queer?

Now, I almost wish I’d written not to him that he Is free.
For perhaps it was a story that he rode with Anna
There he’s coming through the gateway. meet him at the door; I will
I will tell him still I’ll love him if he’ll court Miss Lee no more
