WELL! Let him sleep! Time enough to awake
When sunset ushers a kind release,
When cooling shadows the raft overtake.
For Madelon's heart will never break
For Alphonse, but for Verrier, fils,
Solet him sleep! Time enough to awake
When Verrier, dressed for Madelon's sake
In his best, is up the river a piece,
When cooling shadows the raft overtake.
A Carmenshewhose eyelashes make
Havoc with allold Boucher's niece
Solet him sleep! Time enough to awake,
For a desperate thing is a bad heart-ache,
And one that may not entirely cease
When cooling shadows the raft overtake.
If they met, who knowsa spring, a shake,
A jack-knife, deadly as Malay crease
Hush! Let him sleep! Time enough to awake
When cooling shadows the raft overtake.
