Question and answer, by two lovers heard,
Letting the world go by;
Scarcely a whisper, and hardly a word,
Maybe no more than a sigh.

Question and answer, both old as the sea,
Yet to font hearts ever new.
For the sweetest of questions is
“Do you love me?”
And the sweetest of answers,
“I do!”

Question and answer, a tender caress,
Given and shyly returned,
Language of lovers that glances express,
Always so easily learned.

Question and answer, in one kiss divine,
Two loving hearts standing still.
While the sweet, silent question is
“Will you be mine?”
And the sweet, silent answer
“I will!”
