WOMAN and
...SOClETY...
Bonney Iourraine.

Bonny Lorraine, have you forgot
The day we walked the morning lea
l still keep blue forget-me-not
That you took from your hair ana
gave to me.
Would you like to walk those ways
again,
With me at your side In the morn
ing time?
Do you ever think of your youths
sweet prime.
And your young boy-lover, Bonny
Lorraine?
All, we'll remember the time we stood
BY the glancing river when the
day was done.
And the whispering trees in the dim
old wood,
Turned crimson and gold in the set
ting sun;
When your heart and your lips and
your eyes were fair
To cling to me then as your life's
one love.
Do you remember it, Bonny Lorraine?
Surely your heart can never forget
The night l told you that last fare
we'll:
Your long, soft lashes with tears were
wet,
And your anguish more than your
lips could tell,
anu you klSSGQ lilcIl, do Il Sloou AZ
the rain,
Andtheld me fast as you bid me go
With your desolate golden head
bowed low
I know you remember it, Bonny. Lor-
raine.
Across the street where the music
swells.
You glide thro' the throng in the
shadowy dance;
In your ears the chime of your mar
riage bells:
romance.
/ see YOU glimmer across the pane
The jewels ablaZe in your shining
hair,
And the form of another about you
there;
But do not envy him now. Lorraine.
Let him bow down at your royal feet.
And sing loves song if it gives him
joy;
I sang it once and found it sweet
In the days when you charmed me
a foolish boy.
But ne'er shall awaken the old re-
frain,
It's beautiful music is almost
hushed
My heart was touched but it was
not crushed.
And it loves you no longer. Benny
J Lorraine.
Dance on while the music throbs and
beats.
Drink memory to death in your we'd
ding wine:
He knows not your life, whose quick
glance meets
The false, sweet light in your eyes
divine.
I can look on you now with never
pain
On your proud. fair face and YOUR
splendid eyes:
And then, looking up to your star
lit skies
Thank God that lost you. Benny Lor-
raine.
