I ride from land to land,
I sail from sea to sea;
Some day more kind I fate may find,
Some night, kiss thee.
John Gibson Lockhart [1794-1854]
SONG
Love's on the highroad,
Love's in the byroad—
Love's on the meadow, and Love's in the mart!
And down every byway
Where I've taken my way
I've met Love a-smiling—for Love's in my heart!
Dana Burnet [1888-
THE SECRET LOVE
You and I have found the secret way,
None can bar our love or say us nay:
All the world may stare and never know
You and I are twined together so.
You and I for all his vaunted width
Know the giant Space is but a myth;
Over miles and miles of pure deceit
You and I have found our lips can meet.
