" LOVE FINOS A WAY "
Tlie air With fragrance rare is laden,
Earth and sky seem full of joy,
Hi a nook with ivy shaded
Sit a youth and maiden coy.
Still lie lacks tlie strength to tell her
All his heart would madly say,
Hut the Fates have smiled upon him,
As of yore, “Love finds a way.”
\
For tlie maiden drops a flower,
And their hand* upon it meet,
And the touch gives him tlie courage
i To tell her the story sweet. *
1 And she listens, blushing softly
At ills words with passion swayed.
! Then site breathes tlie whispered an
swer
That a happy man lias made.
So from the doubts and disappoint
ments,
Changing darkest night to day,
Springs tlie reign of joy and gladness,
Love again, lias found a way.
