OUTLAWED!

Under the cherry trees I lie That paint the noonday pink; ’Neath a heaven of cloudless sky, A breeze that seems softer than a sigh, Like a girl’s warm breath on the cheek, I think. Like a woman’s whisper and soft caress, When to a loved one she answers yes! Under the cherry trees a man May dream all day in far Japan! Only the birds share the trecs with me; Gay-clad creatures that come and go, Born of the Eastern summer sun, Purple and golden every one, Coming when summer breezes blow, Singing the song of the joy of life. The folly of care and the sin of strife. Under the cherry trees one can Almost be happy ix far Japan! How far the London life I led Seems now in the dim and distant past! How far the nights and days up West, The turf, the stage, and all the rest, Here at sight of the sun they've fled. And I’m miles away of ocean and lands, From sound of voices and touch of hands. Under the cherry trees @ man Toragcts the past in far Japan!

THE SYBARITE.
