He wondered. toy-llke. through his
youth.
How love would come to him some
day
Rosc,crowned star-eyed and fair in
truth;
How hand In hand. along the way
He'd lead her TO the purple rim
Across the golden afternoon
Where she should smile alone for him
And life their lullaby would Groom!
And so he dreamed! And though he
talked
with other girls upon the stairs.
With one he danced: with one he walked:
But never blundered In loves snare.
Nor thought he'd strayed into the net
That bound his life's unspoken wish
One lucky day when first he met
Girl who owned a chatting dish!
She was serious maid who had
Ambitions fne--ideals grand,
Her eyes upon the stars; her fad
To live for Art alone! She planned
A great career-the goal In sight;
And afternoons to call no came
While she put on an apron white
And dalied with the chafer's flame!
She frIzzled eggs and oysters creamed
And placed the cups OF china blue
With touch artistic while they dreamed
or all their noble aims come true;
They never talked of loVe-but things
Adjust themselves in these affairs;
One day she deNiled turkey wings
And so-love found them una wares!
