"LOVE CAME BACK AT FALL O' DEW"
Love came back at fall o' dew,
Playing his old part;
But I had a word
or two,
That would break his heart.
"He who comes at candlelight,
That should come before,
Must betake him
to the night
From a barred door."
This the word that made us part
In the fall o' dew;
This the word that
brake his heart -
Yet it brake mine, too!
Lizette Woodworth Reese [1856-1935]
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
