Her eyes grown big; his lips on fire.

Down Frognal Lane to Fortune Green—

There parted, by a watery moon.

His heart went throbbing “Might have been,”

But hers a-trembling “Not too soon.”

At Jack Straw’s Castle, streaks of yellow light

Pour from the bar upon a preacher’s head

Who howls unheeded warnings to the night:

Two p’licemen say he ought to be in bed.
