Love And I

Once I found Love sleeping And caged liim witli a smile, "Xow that I have oaught yoa You must stay awhile." But he pined and fretted, Sighing ceaselesbly, As lio beat agaiiist the bars, "Give me liberty." Touched by bis i:1. menting, I set wide the ri mri Out he flew and vanished. And I was as helare. By my lonely hearthstone Bitterly I wept, When with twüighfa siiadows Throiujh the door Love crept. Though I díe wlieü prisoned,' He whispered, "yet when free - Oh! woman ])eed the lessen - I straight return to thee."
