DE ROUGEMONT.
Come and meet me in tjie gloaming On the Strand my darling— nay, Nnt whore the editors are roaming On their hungry search for prey ; Not where Chronicles are calling For my blood my darling — no, But where silver waves are falling On the shores of Weissnichtwo. Come and meet me, Oh my Dusky, When the wombats homeward fly, And the kangaroo grows husky And he carols in the sky ; When the playful ostrich mocks la the twilight, and the orNithorbyncoparadoxus Lightly flits along the shore. There, I eneath the palm-tree's curtain On our island home— l own That the latitudes unce-tain And the longitude unknown — Shall our love dioport at random As we swim, sweet, 1 and you, Through the wavelets, riding tandem On a turtle built for two.
