Kissing.


Sitting tonight in my chamber,
a bachelor, frigid and lonely,
1 kissed the end Of my pipe-stem-
That, and that only.
Reyeries rise with the smoke wreaths,
Memories tender surround me;
Girls that are married--or buried,
Gather around me.
School girls inspantelets romping;
Girls that have grown to be misses;
Girls that liked to be kissed, and
Liked to give kisses.
Kisses-well ! remember themi
Those in the corner were fieetest,
Sweet were those ION the sly" those in the
Dark were the sweetest.
Anna was tender and gentle;
To woe was almost to win her;
Her lips were as good as ripe peaches
And milk for dinner.
Nell was firt and coquetish;
.Twas-catch me and kiss if you can, sir!
Gould catch both--ahl wasn't
a happy man, sir
Anna has gone to mission
Off to the south-sea sinners;
Nell is a widow, keeps boarders, and
Cooks her own dinners.

Mary, Jane, Lucy and Maggie;
Four are married and plump, two
Maiden and craggy.
Carrie is deadl Bloom sweetly.

Her loved dearly and truly.

Thus sif sraoking and thinking,
