Tho colon was introduced about
1885; the comma about 1921, and
the semi-colou about 1870. In Sir

in 1887, they all appear, as woll a.

Never 3 cloud in the sky,
Jhe waves so softly ripping
In gentle lullaby.
A youth with maiden sitting
klof.e by the quiet SEES;
hat to him the cloudless splendor,
Or oceans melody
No sky is clearer, brighter,
Than the eyes Of the maiden fair;
In their blue depths be eaZes
Seeing his heaven there.
Ard the ripping OF her laughter
Is sweet TO hinl-far more
Than the music of the wavelet
As il laps upon the shore.
Ard the notes of golden sunlight
As they simmer IN the air,
Aud the shining sands are only
The meshes Of her hair.
So he weaves an idle romance
In which their lives, ss one,
Go drifting on together
I'LL the earthly work is done.
Alas for dreams, awaheninss
Illusions sweet dispel:
Castles in air quick builded
Must swiftly fall as well.
Asking with tender accents
Her thouyhts-'twixt smile and pout
She says, I'm Citing sunburnt,
And my crImps are coming out"
