LOVERS STILL.

We were children playing together,
on Mona's magic isle,
In her witching April weather,
OF laughter, and sigh, and smile.
We were children, playing together,
For a happy, happy while.
We were lovers straying together
so lightly over the land,
That we scarcely RULED the heather,
Hardly printed the sand,
We were lovers straylng together,
On Mona's fairy strand.
And still there are children playing
On the self-same shore and hill;
And still there are lovers straylng
By Mona's elfin riili
For our children are round us playing,
And we've are lovers still. Spectator
