ON—ON—“ POET "
Ι το the open road,
You to the hunchbacked street—
Which of us two
Shall the earlier rue
That day we chanced to meet?
I with a heart that‘s sound,
You with sick fancies of pain—
Which of us two
Would the earlier rue
If we chanced to meet again?
I jingle homely lore,
While you rhyme is with kiss—
Which of us two
Will the earlier rue
The love of the Haj/lake Miss ?
Not I the first to go,
Nor I the first to deceive——
Which of us two
Shall the the earliest rue
Our garden of make—believe?
