class="verse">If you were the Earth and I were the Dew,
What then, little girl, what then?
Why surely the thing all lovers would do,
My sweet little girl, what then?
I'd steal through the twilight, o'er valley and lea,
And flood you with kisses, both tender and free
'Till the soul in you throbbed with the love that's in me,

And the day growing dark 'neath a colourless sky;
My own little girl, yes then.

And able to rest with joy,
And our time in the world is long,
With nothing that can destroy
The rapture of God's green earth,
The throb and the ecstasy
That springs into life with birth,
And lives through eternity.

Dear heart! I was going away,
Could you not have spared me an hour
Of all your bountiful day?
No moment, no word, no flower
To keep; not even a tear?
My soul was so thirsty, dear!
LOVE TRIUMPHANT
Ere the first grief was born
Love was.
And after griefs are gone
Love still shall triumph on.
Ere the first grief was born
Love was.
In Eden grief became
Love's slave.
For in the dust and woe
Lost Adam still could know
Fond recompense, and so
