Verse For To-day
Country lovers play at love In a scene gll laid for loving. Marriage-making stars above Gossip and wink and look approving, While the moon with maudlin beam Gilds the sentimental air, And lends the glamour of a dream To eye arjd hand, to lip and hair; LorCg dewy lanes invite the feet, And all the silver dusk is sweet With unimaginable roses; And round the heart enchantment closes, And the whole world’s a lover’s tale Spun by the moon and the nightingale. From “London Lovers,” by Jan Struther (Mrs Joyce MaxtoneGraham), 1901 [Oxford University Press].
