Part 2 — "LOVE CAME BACK AT FALL O' DEW"
Reading edition
Love came back at fall o' dew, Playing his old part; But I had a word or two, That would break his heart.
"He who comes at candlelight, That should come before, Must betake him to the night From a barred door."
This the word that made us part In the fall o' dew; This the word that brake his heart— Yet it brake mine, too!
Lizette Woodworth Reese [1856-1935]
