A SERENADE.

Ambrose Bierce

“Sas agapo sas agapo,” He sang beneath her lattice. “‘ Sas agapo’?” she murmured — “O, I wonder, now, what that is!”

Was she less fair that she did bear So light a load of knowledge? Are loving looks got out of books, Or kisses taught in college?

Of woman's lore give me no more Than how to love,— in many A tongue men brawl: she speaks them all Who says “I love,” in any.
