The Girl of To-day.
Gibl of the past — " Of the long ago "—" — Thou'rt gone with ages past. Girl of to-day — girl that I know — With thee my lot is cast. Tho' others may Bwear and others may rave O'er maidens fair, long in the grave, Girl of to-day, I can but say Thou art the girl for me. Dear girl of to-day, sweet girl of to-day, I live and die for thee. Girl of the past — " Of the long ago "—" — Thou'rt but a poet's dream, Girl of to-day, girl that I know. Thou are more real I ween Than phantoms beyond poor mortal control — Thou'rt flesh and blood, thou'rt heart and Boul. Girl of to-day, I can but say Thou art the girl for me. Dear girl of to-day, sweet girl of to-day, I live and die for thee. Girl of the past—" Of the long ago "— Thou'rfc long since " on the wane." Girl of to-day, girl that I know, 'Tis thee— my queen— doth reign. And others may say whatever they will I say what I said— l say still : Girl of to-day (Of thee I say) Thou art the girl for me. Dear girl of to-day, Bweet girl of to-day, I live and die for thee.
