met YOU last night in dreamland,
NE were walking side by Fidei 81
And Il herce, Wild war was waging
In my heart betwixt love and pride.
Your proud dark eyes were on me-
But your arms across your breast
Were folded, as II 70 cover
Its feTerish, mad unrest
effhMfg f
How stately you looked In the twilight,
with your boldly beautiful face,
And classical head surmOanAng
A figure Of kingly grace.
How Ike prince Of the old time,
OF a yalorous, gallant knight.
You looked as you stood there calrsiJ,
In the beauty Of manly might, N
Two paths were near lying,
And one with flowers was strewn;
The other, all wild and thorny,
H-ou said you must travel alone.
Then slowly yOu seemed to leave me,
RAT y6nr eloquent wistfui eyes
Were pleading that would follow
The path where your duty hes.
H8.NEfFN
But my heart was waywaEd and wilfui,
And so 10 myself said,
The path Of Pleasure Is thOrnless,
That only my feet shall tread
But pleasure proved but phantom
And the flowers sought to clasp.
Like the beautiful dead sea apples,
Fell TO a she's within1ny grasp.
And the night fell darkly around nae,
Alone and dishOartened, cried
Then suddenly some bright angel
Brought you again to my side.
And when you tenderly drew ms
To the path of right once more,
gave you my land and whispered,
gtTb6n shait lead me evermore."
