The Dear Old slipper

There's a dainty little slipper that
among my treasures lies.
And as long as memory serves me I
will hold It as a prize;
It Is old the bow is faded that once
Ger her instep lay.
But ! feel thrill go through me as I
take 1t up today.
It is wrinkled and ld-fashioned, all it's
usefulness is Ger
But It proves beyond a question that
her size was number four;
can trace the small impressions that
were fashioned by her toes,
And among my dearest treasures it
shall till the last repose.
1t was not the lovely Mabels, it was
never worn by Maud.
IL belongs to no sweet maiden who now
sleeps beneath the sod;
lt was only patient mothers. and IL
links me to the past.
It's the dear old little slipper that she
used upon me last.
