Yours in Haste.

l love that dainty monogram,
With three slim letters interlaced.
Above the notes she used to write,
Signing them ever, Yours in haste.
The world was young, and so was 1.
How sweet to think that in the whirl
She kept one moment all for me,
To glad my heart-my radiant girl
The world is old, and so am l.
And since my love became my wife
1t seems to me I've somehow been
Too late for everything in life.
With ribbons flying, gowns awry,
With painting breath and boots unlaced
True to her words of yore, she's been
But now and ever mine sin haste"
