LOVED AND LOST.


All, Maud, it is true you have welded
The widower over the way,
For the sake OF the gold In his Golfers.
Though his head Is both withered and gray
To be mistress OF land in the country.
ITO be mistress Of houses in town.
To queen it in fashions poor pageant.
You have bartered your womanhood's crown-
That diamonds and pearls might glisten
In the soft siiken curls OF your hair;
That the form that is haunting my visions
Might be decked out in satins more rare.
That the dear little hand that you pledged me
Might toy with the millionaire's gold.
You have turned from the friends Of your child
hood,
You have broken your promise of old.
You have broken the vows that you uttered
I One summer eve, years long ago.
When the heart you gave me was purer
Than the winters first mantle ofsnow;
When the eyes that met mine frank and fearless
Held nothing of guile or deceit.
And the smile OF your red lips beguiled me,
And held me slave at your feet.
And yet, Maud, they say you're unhappy;
That your spirit has never known rest;
That the gold in the miIlionaire's Golfers
Cannot Danish remorse from your breast;
That you sigh for the love that you sighted,
For the love that was honest and true,
For the heart that through years of estrangemenf
Has ever been faithful to you.
The years have been long since you left me
In anguish and deepest despair
And time has his signet imprinted
On the once glossy curls Of my hair.
The eyes that were bright,have grown dim, Maud
