Uhat IIsost by kissing Kate


There were Lizzie, Kate and Mary,
AM three beautiful and young,
But the name Of Mary ever
fingered longest on my tongue,
And hopes in seere: cherished
or home where sac wss queen.
But one day those sweet hopes perishea'
And left life desert scene.
They and I were oaee together,
Frolicking beneath the moon,
In the midest of mild weather
In the odorous month Of June;
And sweet Mary said, "Sinee Kisses
In the moonli ght time are due
would take this best II kisses >,
From Kate's lips, ifiI were you.
Scarcely had the thought been spoken.
Ere. with heart and eye elate,
Ihad claimed the hon$ed token
From the rosy lips of Kate.
But, alack! in thus ebhying,
/ had made sad inistake5
For in heart, the girl v, as saying,
"Kate will lose what l shall take.
kiss Kate" this was what she told tne;
But its meaning was--kiss me.
OH vain heart! and ohl eyes silly
Thus to fail the truth to see!
So we parted; with sorrow,
She with scorn, perhaps, with hate
And my heart grows sad BY knowing
What lost by kissing AaFe-
