Twas only by q girl Of ten;
She little knew
That when she grew
She would not share them 50 with men.
When at last the ripper years have come
And Cupid's form appears,
And the favored dart
Strikes at the heart
Which must last through months and yeaIa
Perhaps It may turn out to be,
As others have done before
The charm forget
In wild regret,
Repent and Sigh for days Of yorsS
With children near to hear the blame
On each as 1t may chance to fall.
Not words so dear,
But words that scar
God forgive Us Tor 1t ALL
For such Is life to many wife, e.
And mistakes are made all the WHILE
But give me the bliss
OF dear, sweet kiss
From the innocent lips Of child.
