Kissing Good-by.

A kiss he took and backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter,
A trife, yon say to color day,
Yet the dull gray morn seemed brighter
For hearts are such that tender touch
May Danish look of sadness;
a small, slight thing can make US eing,
But frown will check our gladness.
The cheeriest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness;
And the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in a moment of blindness,
We can brayely face life in home where strifC
No foothold can discover,
And be lovers still If we only will,
Though youths bright days are over.
All. sEarp as swords cut the nnkind words
That are far beyond recalling,
When face lies hid meath coftin-lid,
And bitter tears are falling,
We fain would give half the lives we live
To undo our dleiscorning;
Then lot us not miss the smile and kiss
When we part in the light of morning.
