YOUTH AND LOVE.

Youth and Love fell out one day.
Said Youth 10 Love III 90 my way
And leave you broken hearted.
III go through life without your aid.
I'll gaze on neither man nor maid"
And foolishly they parted
OFF went naughty Youth alone.
He hummed time in merry tone
And never looked behind him,
While Love at home was sad and sore
And longed for merry Youth once more
Alas, she could not find him.
But Youth had not been walking long
Before he hushcd his merry song
His heart was full of sorrow.
He found it hard to stay away
From Love, if only for day.
He came back on the morrow.
For Love and Youth apart would die
Like flowers without dew or sky.
They d fade if they would seyer
As long as there are tide and time
In every land, in every cline,
Youth and Love will be together.
