And talk, as we used to do;
For we, who ha' loved you many a year,
And clung to you, strong and true,
Since we've had the young Professor here,
Have not had much of you!
But lovers be lovers, while earth endures;
And once on a time, be it known,
I helped a girl with eyes like yours
Construct a world of our own;
And we laid it out in a garden spot,
