The Story of the Gate.


The Story Of the Gate.
Across the pathway. myrtlefringed.
Under the maple. 1t was hinged
The little wooden gate;
Twas there within quiet gloam,
When had strolled with Nellie home,
used to pause and walt,
Before said to her goodnight,
Yet10ath to leave The wins0me sprite
Within the gardens pale;
And there. the gate between US two,
We'd linger as all lovers do.
And lean upon the rail.
And face to face, eyes close to eyes.
Hands meeting hands in feigned surprise
After stealthy quest
So close I'd bend ere she'd retreat.
That I'd grow drunken from the sweet
Tuberose upon her breast.
We'd taik-in itful style, ween-
With many meaning glance between
The tender words and low;
Wed whisper some dear sweet conceit,
Some idle gossip we'd repeat;
And then I'd move to 20.
Goodnight! I'd say; good night-good .byei
Good night!-from her. with half sigh
Good night Good night And then
And then do not 70, but stand
And lean upon the railing. and
Begin it all againi
Ali! that was MANY days ago
That pleasant summer time-although
The gate is standing vet;
A little cranky, 1t NAV be;
A little weather-w0r like me-
Who never can forget.
The happy-'Fnd?-my cynic friend,
Pray save your sneers-there was no end
Watch yonder chubby thing!-
That is our youngest, hers and mine;
See how he Climbs his legs to Irvine
About the gate and swing.
