MY FIRST wooING.
By HM .Nopus.
Oh there is a dream OF early youth,
And it never comes again;
IT'S vision of light, of life, and truth,
That fits across the BRAIN;
And love is the theme of that early dream;
So wild, SO warm, SO new.
That in all our after Dreams deem,
That early dream we rue.

long enough to rub off the ruder traits,
