The Art Of kissing,
AHc NJ VI niSSAhs
been written in this age,

Much has been written in this age,
About enjoying kisses;
And many word -enameled page
Has heralded their blisses,
But there are those who.ve yet to learn
That kissing is an art
That tho the lips breathe words that burn
More brightly in the heart,
Those words with fiattery may be wreathed
And from the sweetest smile,
We sometimes find an incense breathed,
That fills the heart with guile.
But words enhallowed with kiss,
VIII ne'er allure from duty;
1t is the harbinger Of bliss.
A type Of angel beauty,
The seal Of friendship, love and truth,
A glory beaming flower,
To point earth, life, from earliest youth,
With many happy hour.
There are kisses of many kindl
And some excite our wonder;
And in such ones we're sure to find
A sort of pop gun thunder;
Another kind is given forth
Like pipe stems sudden cracking,
While others sound as if their worth
Was thought to be in srnacking.
In this, we ne'er could see much fun
The letting all folks hear us
But when there's kissing to be done.
We draw the maiden near US;
We pass one arm around her waist,
And speak in tones caressing,
Appearing not as if in haste
To snatch the wish for blessing;
One hand clasps hers within itself,
Then to our bosom press her,
With upturned lips the gleesome elf
Greets ours with ioy-Heaven bless her.
