MYSTERY, La I did not love him; long ago erli Instead of Yes I gave him Wo. (le I did not love him, but today wei I read his marriage notice. Pray tht Why was I sad, when never yet thr Has my heart known the least regret val Over that whispered No? And why Reading the notice, did I sighr? pr4 No analyst can guess the cause: A woman's reason laughs at laws. thl Sure, I am glad to know the wound tr( I gave is healed; that he has found . Love's blessedness ard peace, and yet sel Today I seem to see him stand, 0 With every glance a mute caress, . Still pleading for the longed-for Yes. His early love for me Is dead- to Another lives In that love's stead. to And It he loves her well, as men Should love their chosen ones, why then Y( oM me must be glad that long ago Instead of Yes I gave him No. Perhaps that is the reason why I read the notice with a sigh.
