I. IMPROMPTUS by Solomon S. Drogin

123. Birth

An evening's walk, a little talk
A friend to be made, foundation laid
The little talk over, walking sober
His unknowing love, bade adieu under stars above

Love came to him in startling swiftness
To be proven, to be tried, to be tested,
All in youth's light tasks of life
And now, o beloved, what wouldst have of me?

A long travail is about to begin
Lucky star travel with me, love
Attend with thy care my toil
And lay loving hands on my weary head
That strength anew be given me
To rise and renew the battle to live.
