And laavet her here with him.
Why should there he, O little white

When the world lia» lefl you by his
aide.

Soeie old love-moment sweet with
 pain
Of pataiouate memories'
i Kjki your heart vrarti hack with last

Tor the maiden meads of uiiguouette
And the fairy-hauuted wood.
That you had not withheld from love,
A little while, the freedom of
Yoitj happy maidenhood'
Or ia it but! a uamelest feai,
A wordiest joy, that calls the tear
[u dumb appeal to rise.

You yield up all into hit bauds,
Pleading into hit eye*'
For days that laugh or Mishit that

Vou two ttrike oars across the ilerp
With life's tide at the brim.
And all time t beauty, all love's grace
