An now.-Let us enjoy the bliss there IN
In seeking TO distinguish one the other.
For you. I'm but the darkness of q cloak;
For me. you are the wilderness of Q robe.
I'm shadow only, you arc blessed Light

Ny heart, through difndencc. forever calls
Upon my mind to shield IL from disdainl

For fear of ridicule. to pick . horst.

Obi lot us set aside the piGmy things,
The superannuAted niceties
OF love a. 1t In understood today
Why alp by drops the water Of Q spring.
When from Q river We can freely quAHf

They've served to make you stay.
But now 'twould be an insult to the night,
To fragrance. and to fate. and nature too,

One look above. and artince diHarmsl

Tho truth of sentiment might vaportEo,
The soul exhaust itself In futile play.
And nicetiea be carried to . point

Ihate Thorn now. tits
A crime to force sweet love to handy WordSi
There comes q time. moreover, be assured

When our breast o'erhows with noble love.
A love that pretty words must desecrAtsi

Since now for both OF US the time has come.
What words shall / expect from your

All. all.
All those I know; accept them scattered loose.
UnSought. unbound. Hove you-let me brshthSi
Ilovo thee and ] rave. It's Joy too muohi
Thy name 10 in my heart as in q hell.
Roxane. and. as my heart forever throbS.
The bell 10 Ger the sounder of thy name.
OF thee there's naught do not hoard and lover
I mind me that. last year. the twelfth Of May.
A twist was changed In whats q crown. thy hairi
Thy glowing hair to me Is truly light.
When We have gazed too long upon tho sun.
We see on things around a halo reign
'Tts thus when l have lost the light thou ahedst,
Ny dALzlsd eyes are allied with golden sparhsl
