Like an icicle In the sun.
I was thinking OF the summers
When we were boys and girls.
And wandered in the blossoming WOODS.
And the gay winds romped with your
curls.
And you seemed to me the same little girl
l kissed in the alder path,
] kissed the little girls lips. and. BIAS,
/ have reused a woman's wrath.
There is not so much to pardon
Fol why were your lips so redY
Til blonde hair fell in a shower OF gold
From the proud, provoking head.
And the beauty that flashed from the
splendid eyes,
And played round the tender mouth,
Rushed over my soul like a warm, sweet
wind
That blows from the fragrant south.
And where, after all, is the harm done!
/ believe we were made to be ay,
And all of youth not given to love
Is vainly sq%uandered away.
And strewn through life's low labours
Like gold in the desert sands,
Are loves swift kisses and signs and
vows
And the clasp of clinging hands.
