lent my love book one day,
she brought 1t back laid il by;
Twas little either had 10 sly
she was so strange, and | 90 shy.
But yet we loved Indifferent things
The sprOuIing buds, the birds in tune;
And Time stood still and wreathed his wing,
With rosy links from June 10 June.
For her what task to dare or dol
What peril tempt, what hardship bear
But with her, all she never knew
Ny heart, and what was hidden therel
And she with me, go cold and coy,
Seemed like maid bereft of sense;
But in a crowd, all life and joy,
Aud full Of blushful impudence.
She married. Well, a woman needs
A mate her life and love 10 share
And little cares sprung up like weeds,
And played around her elbow chair.
And years rolled by, but (, content,
Trimmed my one lamp ard kept it bright,
Till ages touch my hair besprent
With rays and CLEANS Of silver light
And then il CHANGED took the book
Which she had read IN DAYS gone by,
And as / read such passion shook
Ny soul, | needs must curse or cry.
For here and there her Low was writ
In old, half faded pencil signs,
AS if she yielded bit by bit
Her heart in dots and under lines.
An! silvered foo , too late you look.
