VERS^ I.

The world seems sad,*! sigh in vain

For one sweet word from you; •

... •. \ *

You seem so changed,, your once bright eyes

Have lost their l^ve-light too;

Some tempter, strong, With cruel tongue.

Has changed your thoughts of me :

But, in your heart, the truth shall reign

Some day, in years to be.

vjO' -AV

VERSE II.

I built my hopes on you, dear love.

You were my world, my all.

And, even though you bid me go,

You're mine—beyond recall;

Though earthly pleasures may console.

Your heart must soon despair,

And when the cloud of doubt has passed.

You'll know how much I care .—Edna Mav.
