LOVE'S CRYPTOGRAM
[The author (if he can be so styled) awoke from a restless sleepwith the first stanza of the following piece in

I dare not write to thee
But look on the face of the moon by night

And my letters you had read.

And their eyes are of the green
And we dared not trust to the written word
Lest our longlong love be seen [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!

The birds of the air to my heart have brought
With no word heard or seen.
'Twas thus in a dream we spoke and said
