The Doorstep.

The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the vestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past
Like snow birds Wiling to be mated.
Not Drawer he that leaps the wall
BY level muskct flashes litten,
Than /. who stepped before them all,
Who longed to see me get the mftten.
But no, she bIushed and took my arm.
We let the Old folks have the highway,
And started toward the Maple Farm
Along a kind OF lovers byway.
I can't remember what she said.
Twas nothing worth a song or story,
Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and In a glory.
The snow was crisp beneath our feet.
The moon was fun, the fields were
Bv hood and iippet sheltered sweet.
Her face with youth and health was
beaming.
The little hand outside her muff-
q sculptor II you could but mould IL.
So slightly touched my jacket cum,
To keep II warm had 10 hold IL.
To have her with me there alone
Twas hove and fear and triumph
blended.
AT last we reached the footworn stone,
Where that delicious journey ended.
The old folks. too were almost home;
Her dimpied hand the latches fingered,
We heard the voices nearer come,
Yet on the doorstep still We fingered.
She shook her ringieis from her hood
And with Thank you. Ned. dissem-
bled.
But vet knew she understood
NTta, what a daring wish | trembied.
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
The moon was slyiy peeping through II.
We. hid It's face as II IL said.
come now or never, do II! do IL.
Nv lips till then had only known
The kiss of mother and OF sister,
but somehow. full upon her own
Sweet rosy. darling mouth kissed
heri
Perhaps twas hoyfsh love, yet still.
% Nstle~S woman, weary lover,
To feel once more that first, wild thrill

Alas they all are IN their graves. the gen.

Ard the brier-rose and the orchids died
amid the summer glow:
Bui on the hill the soiden-rod, and the
