 LOVE'S LETTER.

Longingly Wistfully, Sweetheart, I gaze, Through the gathering haze, Into the night For the vanished light Of your soft, clear eyes; The dream-light, The love-light, For the light of your beautiful eyes.

Away And afar, Where the bright seas roll Round the Happiness Isle, And all things smile, I send my soul To kneel at your feet In the gardens sweet, Where wistarias twine With the jessamine vine, In a land where life is all divine.

Lotus And poppy, Honey and dew, Make I of these a magical brew, Quaff it, and wander in dreamland with you; Wander away, dear, never to grieve, In the wonderful land of The-make-believe.
