Loves Knot.
How delicious is the winning
OF a kisSnt loves beginning,
1Yher, two mutual hearts arc slghtng
For the knot there's no untyingl
Yes remember, midst your wooing
Love has bliss, but love has ruling;
Other smiles may make you ficklc.
Tears for other charms may trickle.
Love he comes, and Love he tarries,
Just as fate or fancy cnrricsa
Longest stays, when sorest chidden
Laughs and flies, when pressed and bid-
den.
Bind the sea to slumber stilly,
Bind its odor to the lily.
y Bind the aspen ne'er to culver.
Then bind Love to last forever.
Loves fire that needs renewal
or fresh beauty for It's fuel;
Loves wing mouths when Gagged and cap
tured,
Only free he scars enrnptured.
Can you keep the bee from ranging7
Or the ringdove's neck from changing
NO! nor fetterd Love from dying
In the knot there's no untying.
