WHAT MY LOVER SAID.

TAttrlbuted TO Horace Greeley ]
BY the merest chance. in the twilight gloom,
In the orchard path he met me
In the tail wet gr IS, with lis faint perfume,
And / tried to BASS, but he made no room,
OH tried; but he would not let me.
So stood ana blushed till the grass gre" reo'
With my lace bent down above IL,
While he took my hand, US he whispering SAID
How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head
oh, the clover IN bloom-l love IL.
I'm the high, wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low wet leaves hang over,
But could not pass on eitSer side,
For 1 found myself when Vainly tried.
In the arms Of my steaCIast lovri,
And he held me there ana he raised my hea"
Wnile he closed the path before me,
And he looked down INTO my eyes anu saiu-
How the leaves bent down from lhe DouSh7 U ei
head,
To listen 10 all that my lover SAID;
Oh, the leaves hanging lowiT e'er me.
Had he moved aside but IL little way
L coulu surely then have passed h'lh'
Ana hr knew never could wIsh u stay,
| And would not have heard " hat lie had to say
| Could only aside have cast INN. ,
| IL was almost dark, and the nents speu'
! And the sc earcnlpg night wind found us;
But he drew me nearer and softly said
! How the pure. sweet wind grew sun '"s'e.'"
To listen 10 all that my lover SAID,
| Oh, the whispering wind around us
| r Am sure he krew, when he held me fast
That | must he all unwilling;

| AS the night was come With It's dews at iaat'

And his soul came out from his lips and s.in, said
! Hsw the stars crept out wnen the white moo

To listen to all that my lover said;
Oh, the moon and the stars Iii glory
! I knew that the grass and leaves Will not tell.
And Pm sure that the wind, precious rover,
| Viii carry his secrets so safely anu well
! That no being shall ever discover
: One word of the many that rapaly ie!l
/ From the eager lips of my lover.
