THE KISS AT THE DOOR.

In the dsys Of the lance and the spur,
When the hero went forth to the fight,
Oft he CART ed token from her
Whom he worshiped as lover and knight,
And when fierce surged the battle around,
And when close pressed the merciless fee,
Twas that token that drove off despair
And gave victory's strength to his blow.
Not a hero of knighthood am ],
But a warrior in industrys strife,
Where the lance that WELD is my pen
And the ladye serve is my wife.
Yet token carry each day,
Full as precious as any of yore,
And it stoutens my heart for the fray;
IT'S my loves morning kiss at the door.
For his faith will the martyr endure,
BY the sunset the artists inspir'd;
At the blast Of the bugle and fife
Is the soldier to gallantry fred.
But whatever may Others exalt,s
For myself ! shall ask nothing more
As prompter to worthiest deeds
Than the kiss that get at the door.
