strand
A sturdy lad with midnight eve,
The little girl. her eyes are blue;
In awe they gaze on wave and sky
They are alone there. just those two.
A youth and maid. one summers eve.
Are strolling in the cedar shade.
And Cupid hazy dreams doth weave
As plans for future home are made.
Oblivious TO the rest of earth
Were they in that hour Of WOO
Light their hearts with love and mirth,
They are alone-there's just those
two.
The years have passed-in cedar shade
Stands man and wife. now bent and
gray:
Lone the homestead they had made.
Their children all have gone away;
Some to distant lands have gone,
And some lie under sod and dew;
The old folks they are pale and wan
Once more alone. there's just those
two.
A village churchyard. old and gray,

I wander through at close Of day,
I read the names whose race Is run
Here are two green, grassy mounds
There's roses red and violets blue
From bush ana tree Bird songs re.
