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,
