PROTESTATION. 



An Idyl, a isord formed from the 

 initials of t lie quotation. 



RONDEAU 



T LOVE you, dear,&quot; forever be 

 * The message of your heart to me. 

 Sweet heart, I have no words to tell 

 The blissful thoughts that in me well 

 Whene er I read your mystery. 



From me you ve learned Love s heraldry, 

 For my enraptured face must be 

 Emblazoned with his crest, so well 

 1 love you, dear. 



O loving heart, though it may be 



That in this life can never we 



Join hands, in Heaven shall no farewell 

 Love s perfected delights dispel; 



For time and for eternity 



I love you, dear.
