Diary belonging to Archibald William Lawton Wookey, 1900-1901 - Part 5

Ft Tuli Nov 19/1900
Among the Daises she nestled

down
And plucked one tiny Bud

She peeped through her lashes -

of hazel brown

And its beautiful crimson hood

Then shaking the dew from its

bonny head

She lifted it up to her lips

And wispered his name with a

cheek as red

As the bloom on its fragant tips

I love, I love; and her voice grew

bland

As the breeze from the gentle

south

I love I love - but a strong brown

hand 

Was laid on her smiling mouth

You love you love and the brown

 hand twined.

Through the waves of her sunny

hair

Thy love Thy love sang the tell-tale 
wind

Through the locks of the wispering

Pair

ww

We stood by the Shimmering Summer sea

you and I

And you wispered some old sweet words

to me

'Neath the [[?]] sky
Red sunset ^tints crept at the sand
As we lingered together. hand in hand
both to Part
for the light that was never on sea to land
shon in each heart
We stood once more by the shiny] sea

you & I

But you wispered its old sweet words to me

Neath the cloudy sky

the wind went sobbing along the ^sand

I shivered and felt no clasping hand

we met to part

And the shadows that deepened on sea & land

Fell on my heart

Pale pale are the rose lips sweet

Red is the heart of the rose

But red are the lips mine met

And your heart as white as the
snow

ww

For while the tired waves duly [[breaking?]] being

Seem here no painful wish to gain

Far out by crests and inlets waking

Comes silent flooding in the main!

Two souls with but a single
 thought

Two hearts that beat as one

Two lovers on a path that
 walk

And talk t  so loving in 
the sun

I really neither know nor care

What dress a parson ought to wear -

A black dress or a white dress

I have a grievance of my own -

A wife who preaches in a gown

And lectures in a night-dress

Birthday Card

Red August 2^nd 1900

Words are to faint to tell

The good I wish for thee

May Summer near thee dwell

Wate'er the season be;

May gladness sound these

moments cling

And every year new

beauty Bring

[[?A T Hazerett]]

From. G.R. To A.W.

Drink to me only with thine eyes

And I will pledge with 
mine.

Oh leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine

The thirst that from the 
soul doth rise.

Doth ask a drink divine;

But might I of Jove's nectar sup

I would not change for thine
