AN OUTLINE by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: AS MARY WALKED AHEAD WITH JOHN
Last Line: AH ME! NOT WORTH THE TELLING.
AS Mary walked ahead with John
We heard glad voices ringing;
But suddenly there came a pause
Filled up by wood-birds singing,
Filled up by wild birds singing.

As John came back to us alone
His eyes with tears were welling.
'Twas but a simple tale he told
That was not worth the telling,
Ah me! not worth the telling.
