BRAVE LOVE.

He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song,
But we were wed when skies were bino
And summer days were long
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberrfes,
Or slept among the hay,
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear US play
The rare old tunes-the dear old tuneS-
We could not starye for long
While my man had his violin
And / my sweet love song
The world has aye gone well with US,
Old man, since we were one
Our homeless wanderings down the lanes
1t long ago was done
But those who wait for gold or gear,
For houses and for kline,
Till youths sweet spring grows brown
and sere.
And love and beauty tine,
VIII never know the joy of heartl
That met without a fear
When you had but your violiK
And song, my dear.
