We cared for each other as boy and maid,
Yet gave Mrs. Grundy no cause for huffing.
At “Man and Wife” we have often played.
Yet never quarreled or came to cuffing.
We have joked together, and shouted for glee,
And kissed and fondled most tenderly.
At last, through the woods in our childish sport
Playing hide-and-seek, like sister and brother,
We hid ourselves in such clever sort
That never again we could find each other.
