Show Her Way. Sho vowed that sho would have her way, Whatever ho might do or say; Sho frowned a llttlo frown. Tho argument waxed wild and hot; Ho said some things that ho should not, Then hurried off to town. But. oh, alas! sho had not won! And so. at length, when day was done, Sho met him at tho door. , This time, with tears and sobs and sighs 1 Sho pleaded but, to her surprtso, I It ended as before. Next morning, when tho sun was up, I Sho put some sugar In his cup, And, llko a child at play, She flirted In coquettish style, And coaxed him with a honeyed smile, And thus She Got Har Way! Wlllowwood. I sat with Lovo upon a woodslde well, Leaning across the water, I and ho; Nor ever did ho speak nor look at me. But touched his luto, wherein was audible Tho certain secret thing ho had to toll; Only our mlrror'd eyes mot sllot.tly In the low wave; and that sound camo to bo Tho passionate voico I knew, and my tears fell. And at their fall, his eyes beneath drew hers; And with his foot and with his wlng-fcathers wlng-fcathers He swept tho spring that water'd my heart's drought Then tho dark ripples spread to waving hair. And as I stoop'd, her own Hps rising there Bubbled with brimming kisses at my mouth. Dante Oabrlel Rcssrttl r |
