THE GAZELLE.

NO—LEAVE MY HEART TO REST.

WHERE ARE THE VISIONS.

WIND THY HORN, MY HUNTER BOY.

OH, GUARD OUR AFFECTION.

WHEN LOVE IS KIND.

When Love is kind,
Cheerful and free,
Love's sure to find
Welcome from me.

But when Love brings
Heartache or pang,
Tears, and such things—
Love may go hang!

If Love can sigh
For one alone,
Well pleased am I
To be that one.

But should I see
Love giv'n to rove
To two or three,
Then—good-by Love!

242

Love must, in short,
Keep fond and true,
Through good report,
And evil too.

Else, here I swear,
Young Love may go,
For aught I care—
To Jericho.
