And a sigh seems ter come from the trees,

And there’s somethin’ I don’t understand on the plain

With the grass wavin’ up to your knees.

Our old gate where we whispered, “Good-bye”?

Oh, how often I go there and wonder if Fate

Has one blessing a girl’s wish could buy—

With the flounces and streamers of blue,

And though pr’aps it is silly, I have to confess
