Poetry
Ad Amicam Itlcam.
Ir through excess of love for you, my sweet, My passion did my temperate reason blind, If fretful fancy made my lips unkind, And wordn rang harsh, and thoughts were all unmeet To make the conquest of yourself complete : Forgive me, sweetheart 1 Trust me, you will find Some day my love deep in your life entwined, And tendnlled round your innermost heartbeat. Into Love's waters have I cast a stone, Where gently mirrored lay your face so fair, Bat now the rippling circles, wider grown, Have blurred the clear grey eyes and golden hair, Live 1 can no love for all my faults atone ? Should the waves quiet, will you still be there?
W. C. K. IF., in the Thcdtre.
