A way to your undoing.

Ye need not fear,

Though birds may hear

Your whispers or your sighs;

Or tell the night

Of your delight—

Nay, Nay, the birds are wise.

Your vestiture of maiden green

Doth very well adorn ye;

The wind will deem each one a queen,

And woo. He dare not scorn ye!

[Pg 19]

 Homeward Bound

I have ventured on many a journey,

By land and sea;

And whether success or failure

Was granted me,

It mattered but very little—

It is good to be Homeward Bound.
