The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-03-09
IN LENT.

She told him, being quite devout, that
through the Lenten term
He'd have to give up something that he
held in estimation,
Although to do without 1t so long might
make him squirm,
Yet he would be a better man for that
That conscience would award him with a
warm, approving glow,
And what might seem a penance would
turn out to be a blessing;
For she herself had tried it ana she really
That. after all. denial was not in the
least distressing.
The task. however, proved to be unusu-
ally hard,
Because the man was so self-poised he
found that sacrificing
Most anything was no sacrl1ce-he never
touched q card,
Nor danced, nor smoked; few things IKE
that to him appeared enucing.
He might have worn a sackcloth shirt,
but even that, he thought,
Would not much incommode him, for MS
skin as touch as leather.
Repasts of bread and oatmeal he very
often bought
AS something that he craved. 1t was a
puzzle altogether.
So they deliberated and he said he
thought it clear
He'd have to give her up, because of the
sufficient reason
That she herself in all the world was
what he held most dear,
Therefore he would renOunce her entire
ly-fOr q season.
But. strange to say, this SacrllIce she Dy
40 means approved,
For she was tender-hearted and 1t seem
ed TOO great trial.
And while by his devotion, she asserted
she was moved,
There was, she said most earnestly,
limit TO denial.
