ROMANCE AND REALITY.
In a hammock, slowly swaying In the half light of the moon. Careless what the world around them Thinks, two lovers sit and spoon. Half reclining, on his shoulder She her golden head has placed, While his manly arm encircles Lovingly her slender waist. He is hers, and she has given All her life into his care ; Eyes meet eyes, and lips —but, come now, You and I’ve no business there. Ah ! to-morrow they’ll remember All this summer eve’s delights, And they’ll think of one another While they scratch mosquito bites.
