A BALLADE OF REGRET.
I.ifo Cheats Nr OF so Blany things
And seldom pays the sums she owes;
She holds her joys from clowns and kings
and wakes prodigal of woes.
Yet for her fiouts slight malice grows.
only we sue for one small debt
Whose payment all accounts would clost
That certain kiss we did not get.
The kisses that our lips have had
They had been plentiful God wot
And some were sad and some were glad.
Some accidental-and some not,
Some, on reflection, leave blot,
In Times oblivion some have set
but this can never be forgot
That certain kiss we did not get.
Whether we begged and were denied,
or proved too ignorant or wise,
Whether we dallied or we tried,
Numbered with truth or tripped on lies,
Too late, too late we realize,
With sad reproach and sore regret
That one Of all had been our prize
That certain kiss we did not get.

SWGrfheartS turn not repr0Fing eyes
Today's caress is sweet. but yet
What maid can give howe're she tries.
That certain kiss we did not yet.

HEART THAT'S DEAD.
Upon her breast. a diamond sun burst
lies.
And sparkles with a myriad prismic eyes
DIaped in rare velvet from old Lyons
looms,
She walks in splendor through the bright
lit rooms.
Nc: one amidst the sthrong so fair as she,
Wrapped all about with pride and chastity
Like a young queen she holds her stately
head
YET underneath there lies a heart that's
dead.
