They sat alone in the parlor dim
On sofa deep and wide,
And just because she smiled at him
BE closer drew to her side
She was a maiden, dainty and fair,
He was just merely a man,
Who knew the charm of the vision there
As only mere man can.
They talked of weather of tennis and tea,
While manly arm was placed
As though it had strayed unconsciously
To her slender, yielding waist
A tiny curl is loose on her brow,
Her breath he feels on his cheek,
The parlor is dark, and then somehow
They no longer care to speak.
No need Of words at time like this,
For We have ourselves been there
And know these moments of earthly bliss
That come to each loving pair,
He drew her close as a mere man would,
And then, and then he dared
She scolded him as maiden should;
Do you think she really caredG
