Anonymous, A Word to the Wise (1858)
“ Dreaming through the meadow. "Not so coy," urged the boy; "List in time to love and reason." "By and by," she mused reply; "Love's still in season." Years went, years came; Light changed to shadow. Love saw the maid again, Waiting in the meadow. "Pass no more; my dream is o'er; I can listen now to reason." "Keep thee coy," mocked the boy; "Love's out of season." This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
