To their haven in the dust-bin;
But O for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a rivet knocked in;
Break, break, break,
At the foot of the stairs. Oh she!
Can’t expect that the whole of her wages
Will be paid this month by me.
The Age, June 27, 1885.

April Love.
By a young Tory, after Tennyson.
[Lord Randolph Churchill was expected back
from India in April, 1885.]
