TRIOLET (Written for THE SUN.) Love lightly: would you have me then Most lightly love in self-defence? Too xcell 7 know how many men Love lightly: Would you have me then Bring moments we shared hack again, And. dragging Love to grey pretence, Love lightly? Would you? . . . Have me then Most lightly love in self-defence!■ —NORA STACEY. Auckland.
TO A YOUNG GIRL (Written for THE SUN.) No crown of thorn She hears for shield Like roses horn In sheltered field. O Life, tread not. Capricious clown, This gentle plot Of lilies down. Some day she will Be old and icise As Eve, vet still May her hrown eyes And golden hair Be lovely yet. Still shining fair Through toil and fret. O Life, tread soft Upon this heart Till pale winds tea ft Her soul apart, And she he laid Where lovely eyes Must surely fade And heart he wise. —A. R. U. FAIRBURN
