<h3 id="id00624" style="margin-top: 3em">THE LOST LAGOON</h3>
<p id="id00625" style="margin-top: 2em">It is dusk on the Lost Lagoon,<br/>
And we two dreaming the dusk away,<br/>
Beneath the drift of a twilight grey,<br/>
Beneath the drowse of an ending day,<br/>
And the curve of a golden moon.<br/></p>
<p id="id00626">It is dark in the Lost Lagoon,<br/>
And gone are the depths of haunting blue,<br/>
The grouping gulls, and the old canoe,<br/>
The singing firs, and the dusk and—you,<br/>
And gone is the golden moon.<br/></p>
<p id="id00627">O! lure of the Lost Lagoon,—<br/>
I dream to-night that my paddle blurs<br/>
The purple shade where the seaweed stirs,<br/>
I hear the call of the singing firs<br/>
In the hush of the golden moon.<br/></p>
