LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 43, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A youth once loved a maiden
Last Line: Will soon be broken in two.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Youth


AYOUTH once loved a maiden,
Who loved another instead;
The other himself loved another,
And with the latter did wed.

The maiden, in scornful anger,
Straight married the first of the men
Who happened to come across her, --
The youth was heart-broken then.

'Tis only an old, old story,
And yet it ever seems new;
The heart of him whom it pictures
Will soon be broken in two.
