ROMANCE
I
BOYS
We were all boys, and three of us were friends;And we were more than friends, it seemed to me:—
Yes, we were more than brothers then, we three ...
Brothers? ... But we were boys, and there it ends.
II
JAMES WETHERELL
We never half believed the stuffThey told about James Wetherell;
We always liked him well enough,
And always tried to use him well;
But now some things have come to light,
And James has vanished from our view,—
There isn't very much to write,
There isn't very much to do.
