WHERE CUPID DWELLS by ROBERT LOUIS MUNGER

First Line: WAY OVER THE SEAS, IN A FAR, FAR LAND
Last Line: WHEN HE RESTS OVER THERE FROM HIS PLAY. DON'T YOU?
Subject(s): CUPID; PLAY; EROS;

WAY over the seas, in a far, far land,
Where skies are blue and gold;
Where ripples break on a silver sand,
And sunbeams ne'er grow old;
There's a dale where Cupid dwells, they say,
And 'tis there that he rests from his frolic play.

Oh, there's many a lass and many a swain
That knows of his shafts made there;
For Cupid spares naught of a deep heart-pain,
Though love be all his care.
And I think he should make a reflection or two,
When he rests over there from his play. Don't you?
