SUMMER NIGHT SONG.

With phantom kisses smportune
her mouth!
Whisper our old. fond welcoming
once more,
Entreat a wistful smile into her
face.
Echo again the elm vagrant laugh
Lost in the larlgors of our last
embrace.
But call her home and she may fol-
low after.
Leal in her dreams. Loves vague
eyed vavasor.
Wan moon that fades, spent wind
that disappears.
Forsake me not to solitude. Pre-
tend
am not con1fortless in my devotion
Devise me blown adventures she
might send.
Persuade the dewey leaves to tremu-
lous motion,
Quick with her kisses, wet with
her happy tears.
Alas, I know her slumbers are not
stirred.
know no old time visions inter-
vene
To thrill her listless bosom undu-
lating
With the slow rhythm Of sleep
IShe has not seen.
Her heart. still unattuned, Is nut lly
waiting >G.5

not heard. ia
