Edith Nesbit - True Love And New love

Edith Nesbit - True Love And New love

OVER the meadow and down the lane br To the gate by the twisted thorn: br Your feet should know each turn of the way br You trod so many many a day, br Before the old love was put out of its pain, br Before the new love was born. br br Kiss her, hold her and fold her close, br Tell her the old true tale: br You ought to know each turn of the phrase,-- br You learned them all in the poor old days br Before the birth of the new red rose, br Before the old rose grew pale. br br And do not fear I shall creep to-night br To make a third at your tryst: br My ghost, if it walked, would only wait br To scare the others away from the gate br Where you teach your new love the old delight, br With the lips that your old love kissed.
