"THE CONFESSION."
" List, holy man, while I confess AVhat is tlie cause of my distress ; Give absolution to thy son For the offence that he has done !" " Confess— for thee this very hour Shall be employed my priestly power." " i" ast night, when all was calm and stiu, Along the path beside the rill, Together stray'd my Rose and I ; And when no living soul was nigh, I play'd the thief, and— mark you this — I absolutely stole a kiss !" "It was a sad offence, my son ! One thing is only to be done : Go back to her again and say ' Lsat night I stole a kiss away ; I cannot rest with guilty soul, So I return the kiss I stole.' '* Dunedin, 1871. Jaqdes.
