When ar>s met Kitty Lucas

As she stepped iato the carriage,
On that sunmes anerueoa,

AID preteuded that she rcsd,
Thessh . fssqulte ssrs she llsieaed
To each syllable sAri.
Sosnetimes she looked out OF window,
Sometimes she would ssaks screen,
Thoush as " without inteation,
0t monthly mssaslas.
She Vas not slsctiy pretty.
But she looked . Hind and god.
There vas MT . Single feature
I'D have altered m ooaid.
With asv lay my hear. .as soandias,
Till that moment or my tifs
Ihad never seen the somau
iessld think of - my vile.

Cr~pt iut. nay heart that day;
Strange IL vas hoe veil loved her
Ere an hour had passed away.
stIangs the hop-s and teAr. she vaksasd
while she looked 90 sveetly shy.
Strange how sd felt on seeing
Nov tbs aitsst0ees ntttsd by.
Every moment little Kitty
drew more precious ~ my heart,
Every moment we drew nearer
To the spot where NO must part!
Soon 10 saw the nights OF Dovsr,
Soon wc saw the silver sea,
And too sooa stately lady
Came 10 CLAIM my oss-s-cis'
How treubled With emotion
When she rose In leave the train,
And Z whispered. ''Good-bye, kittyi
God grant we mty meet again!"
Then look of timid wonder
Stole across her wistfal lAce
For moment. then she gently
Bowed with sweet unconscious grace
Thus We parted. All In silence
Littic KITTY went her way,
And felt a. u tho sunshins
or my lie had passed away.
How thought of little Kitty,
When that night crossed the sea,
How hoped that she WAS thinking
AZ that very tine VI mo.
Ofteu did prophetic fancy
With sweet vIsians an my hrsln,
TIL I sometimes felt quite certain
That Ne soon should meet again.
Ia thousand times decided
Every word that would say.
And q thousand tunes Imagined
How she'd blush and turn away.
Tine passed on came To London
All In haste % see the bride
Loyeliest sf DeumArk's daughters,
Through the crowded city glide.
'rwssA glorioas day far Eagiand,
Twas Joyous day hr me,
For by happy chance my Kitty
Wa once taoro my ris-sess.
She was sitting 90 . platform
Very near Ia Temple Bar.
And With hope aud fear tremhled
Whlle watched her from sfar;
Watched her tlil ~ last she sav me.
Aul lOokeU up Win sweet tufpft-r.
Then. ahsshc.i aud blushius deeply,
Downward bent her violet eyes
could tell she half repeated
Giving me look so sxeet,
In that Sudden r~co snition,
How it made my pulsrs beats
Ilos she tried h, looG unconscious
Of NY fosd and earnest case.
And her long g-iashed eyclids quivered
Ver the eyes she would not raise.
With her frieads sAe saiiy chatted,
LIscking glad - Glad could he,
sun hoped that she Vas thinking
Al that very time of me.
Why dared this hope Ia cherish
