AT CHURCH.

Inc sermon was long and the preacher
was prosy,
The cushion was so and the corner was
cosy;
And, musing, I knew
By my side in the pew
Was dear little face that was dimpled
and rosy.
A stray bit lace and the curl of feather
Lay close to my cheek, and didn't care
whether
The service was long
Or flirting was wrong
In lonely back pew, as we bnelt down
together.
In reading the prayers we had one book
between US,
So sweet was that smile, had nobody
seen us,
While bent on our knees,
ooh, how Cupid did teaseD
[ had stolen kiss, with the prayer-book
to screen us.
In the oriel window the sunlight was
cleaning,
In my droWsy old brain l felt love fancies
teeming;
Then my heart gave thump-
But my head got bump
On the back of the pew-I had only been
dreaming.
