CIRCUMSTANCE.
Two children in two neighbour villagesPlaying mad pranks along the heathy leas;Two strangers meeting at a festival;Two lovers whispering by an orchardwall;Two lives bound fast in one with golden ease;Two graves grassgreen beside a gray churchtower,Washed with still rains and daisyblossomed;Two children in one hamlet born and bred,Fill up the round of life from hour to hour.
