You laugh me down With light and
Because 1 cannot let one sorrow
pass;
You think the air too summer
sweet, the grass
Too green and fresh, the roseate, wind
stirred morn
Too golden with the light of joys new
born
For grief to cloud the souls trans
lucent glass
With breath Of bitter lips that cry,
Alas!
Where have the old days and the old
joys gomez"
Dearest, am no prophet of evil-yet
know day shall come at Times
sure call
When you, 0 radiant mocker at regret,
Will cry, as from your hands loves
flowers fall,
While those divine eyes, now shadow
less, grow wet;
81 know, at last--I understand it all.
James Lindsay Gordon, in Exchange.
