A LOVE STORY.
She didn't like me when we met— But turned away and pouted, 'Twos very cool, I own, to get , At first a snub so final, yet I clung to hope, arid doubted.
Strange as it seems, a few short weeka Confirmed my sanguine guesses; I came to understand her freaksj ' ; And even dared to kiss her cheeks, ■ • And stroke her golden tressesi
So time went on, and as we grew ' To know each other better, ' She bravely learned to kiss me too; / And when she strangely tried towoo,< Somehow I used to let her. '\
The privilege still yet is mine With kiss her lipi"to smother; Still round my neck she likes to twine i Her soft white arms. I'll drop a line, I 'guess, and ask her mother. ;
This rhyme produces envy, strife Within your reason, maybe; So let me.take a leafirdm life •• Her mother is my darling wife^ Arid she my blessed baby.
