UNAWARES.
We wcro sitting after waltzing, On the stairs. Ho, before I could forbid it, Stole a rose, ero yet I missed it, And, as tenderly he kissed it, Swiftly in his pocket hid it, Unawares. We wore talking, after waltzing, On the stairs. I had said that he should rue it, And a lecture I intonded, Which I think he apprehended, I was kissed before I knew it, Unawares. We wore silent after waltzing, On the stairs. % had stormed with angry feeling, But he spoke love, never heeding, And my eyes fell 'noath his pleading All my depth of love revealing, Unawares. —Boston Courier.
