CLASSES IN LOVE.
67
Helen, and grow
Learned and wise,
Tho' her bright eyes,
Seem not to know.

One dreamy night
Helen, in white,
Strolled on the beach.
Teaching at night.
Sweet as a peach
In the pale light.
One in her class—
No more, alas!
That balmy night.

Down on the beach
Harry doth teach
Helen of love.
Stars on the beach
Beam from above.
