WHAT MY LOVER SAID.
IReprinted by request.l

[Reprinted by request]
By the merest chance, in the twilight
gloom,
In the orchard path he met me;
In the tall, wet grass, with its faint per-
fume
And 1 tried to pass, but he made no
Oh, l tried, but he would not let me.
So stood and blushed till the grass grew
red,
with my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand as he whispering
said
QIow the clover lifted each pink. sweet
head,
To listen to all that my lover said;
oh, the clover in bloom, l love IT'D
In the high, wet grass went the path to
hide,
And the low, wet leaves hung over;
But 1 could not pass upon either side,
For 1 found myself, when l vainly tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there and he raised my
head,
While he closed the path before me,
And he looked down into my eyes and
said
QIow the leaves bent down from the
boughs DER head,
To listen to all that my lover said;
Oh, the leaves hanging lowly o'er meD
Had he moved aside but little way,
1 could surely then have passed him;
And he knew never could wish to stay,
And would not have heard what he had
to say,
Could / only aside have cast him.
1t was almost dark, and the moments
sped,
And the searching night wind found us,
But he drew me nearer and softly said
QIoW the pure, sweet wind grew still, in
stead,
To listen to all that my lover said;
Oh, the whispering wind around usD
1 am sure he knew when he held me fast,
That l must be all unwilling;
For 1 tried to go, and 1 would have
passed.
AS the night was come with its dew, at
last,
And the sky with its stars was filling.
But he clasped me close when l would
have fed,
And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and
said
GLOW the stars crept out where the white
moon led
To listen to all that my lover said;
oh, the moon and the stars in gloryD
1 know that the grass and the leaves will
not tell,
And I'm sure that the wind, precious
rover,
Will carry my secret so safely and well
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the soul-speaking lips of my
lover;
And the moon and the stars that looked
over
Shall never reveal what a fairy-like spell
They wove round about us that night in
the dell,
In the path through the dew-laden
clover.
Nor echo the whispers that made my
heart swell
AS they fell from the lips of my lover.

how the Calvinistio Methodists Of

ago. On that occasion the churches in
Wales raised "a missionary fund of

added another 10000, the handsome

i. Z. LEWIS SICK.

We are sorry to learn of the serious
illness of 3. f. Lewis, one of the editors
of "Y Drych" and that fears are en-
tertained for his recovery. Mr.. Lewis
is one of the foremost Welshmen in this
country and has always been the en-
bodiment of loyalty under all circum-
stances. He has been true to his peo-
pie, but a fearless writer, nevertheless,
against groundless traditions. Let us
hope that his illness is only temporary,
and that he nay be spared many years
more to labor in the interest of his
people.

THE LOYAL KNIGHTS.

1t is now understood that the Loyal
knights, the majority of whom, we un-
derstand, have Welsh blood running
through their veins contemplate hold
ing an eisteddfod on a larger scale than
has been held hereabouts for many
years, and that the prizes will be much
larger both in the literary and musical
departments. The eisteddfod is to be
preceded by concert of eminent
Welsh artists, prominent among them
being the great tenor, Ben Davis. We
will be able to furnish fuller particu-
lars in g. week OF two.
