The Best Letter.

You may write a thousand letters to
the maiden you cdore,
And declare in every letter that you
love her more and more,
You may praise her grace and beauty
in thousand glowing lines
And compare her. eyes Of azure with
the brightest star that shines.
If you had the pen Of Bryon you
would use it every day
In composing written worship to
your sweetheart far away;
But the letter far more welcome to
an older, gentler breast
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she loves the best.
Youthful blood is fierce and flaming.
and when writing to your love
You will rave about your passion.
swearing by the stars above;
VoWing by the moons white splen-
dor that the grille you adore
Is the one you'll ever cherish as no
maid was loved before.
You will pen full many a promise on
those pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to in the
married years to come.
But a much more precious letter.
bringing more and deeper bliss.
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she can not kiss.
She will read it very often when the
lights are soft and low,
Sitting in the same old corner where
she held you years ago.
And regardless of its diction or its
spelling or it's style.
And although it's comp sition would
provoke a critics smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it
becomes a work Of art,
Stained by tears of Joy and sadness
as she hugs it to her heart.
Yes, the letter of all letters, look
wherever you may roam,
IS the letter to your mother from her
boy away from home.
