Excerpt from book: TURNING LOVE AWAY. (LONG YEARS AGO.) O Love, go forth I brought thee here For that I heard thee sing one day When thou wast in the grass at play: That song of one that was too dear. 0 Love ? O Love ? I could not bear To listen by the wayside there; 1 longed to hear thee sing, somewhere Where no one else was near. Remeraberest thou, my little guest ?
