THE FIRST KISS.


The peeping stars, ono summer eve,
Spied some ones arm In mine,
Az out va sauntsred toward her homo,
A little aiter nine.
Within my hand, whilo kindling thoughts
My waking heart passed through,
ungloved her dainty hand was laid,
Half coy, half willing, too.
30 round and round tho squares we went,
Drawn by some mystic Hatc,
Mtngling our words aud steps. until
We reached tho garden gate
We passed. within, and there ~ stopped;
For lingering now, what pleaf
A panss,--A thrill those night blue Dyes
We're looking right at me.
Now venus, and 70 muses. ninsi
Assist mo % relate.
with warm. and true, and flowing pen,
What happened 1t the gate
iongcd those tempting lips to kiss,
I feared, then longed again;
Sure, never man before WAS tried
AsI, 10 kssnly, then.
Aud yet longed, aud looked agaiu;
Close stood vs., heart near heart;
l took her fairy hands In mlus-
Che yields with maiden art.
A random word spoke-thon felt
The warm breeze from the south:
And pictured by the heavcn-light fAtst
saw her dimpled mouth.
More nearly to her darling form.
Myself boldly place.
Her warm breath. sweeter than tho breeze,
Came noating to my face.
Prssumptous soul! and could'st thou dream.
That she. NO high and pure,
Would suffer thee to press those lips.
Thy bearded kiss endured
shame, coward heart! Dost thou NOT know
Love must by love be soughtl
That =" faint heart nscr won lady fair"
Must thou this night bs taught,
Al II my darling thought she guessed,
She whispers coy, "0ood nightr'
food night" answer, yet retain
Her hands with gentle might.
We gayc into each others eyes
Softly ] raise my arm,
In doubt will she my bollness brOok
Or start back Ia alarm.
Surprised, sntranced, delightsdI!
She stood 10 still. 20 sweet,
Around her form my arm draw
Dur lips approach-they Msstl
Yet softly ere they meet, .Good nixhtn
Comes breathing TO my ear.
Aud then ong-drawa, tender kiss
"aood night, good night, my dear"
Then quicker than electric thrill
Each heart heart's secret guessed;
Whole years u 10y elysian seemed
Into that moment pressed.
All night, while sleep and waksfulnsss
Kept up their fitful war,
! lay deliciously and dreamed
Tho rapture Ger and DER.
For days and days boarded up
The memory Of that bliss;
Aud never. to the end VI life,
win forget that kiss.
Though many n precious pair OF lips
With minc have gently blcnt,
None Others touch Ger struck 10 deep.
So wholly heaft-homs went!
II was the tcnd'rest, fullest joy
A Joy whole life tmes worth;
Cav II by all dear names, Il was
The sweetest thing On earth.
