Philip turned back, and, after only one running chord of prelude, began to sing:
"Let us forget we loved each other much,
Let us forget we ever have to part.
Let us forget that any look or touch
First let in either to the other's heart.
"Only we'll sit upon the daisied grass,
And hear the larks and see the swallows pass.
Only we'll live awhile as children play,
Without to-morrow, without yesterday."
The last note was one of those high ones which Kelly had stated did such fell work upon the feminine heart, and Mrs. Wilbur's lips were tremulous as she met her husband's eyes.
