Ibis DARLING FLO"

BY Marion Reider Adams.
An old man bending over with the
weight of many years,
Had travelled foreign countries to re-
lieve his mind Of cares,
But a face would always haunt him,
no matter where he'd 90,
The dearest face in all the world,
his darling little Flo
His darling little Flo.
How well does he remember the day
when first he spied
His bonnie little sweetheart at the
glorious Christmas tide,
How her hair in sunny ringlets, and
her eyes Of violet blue,
Seemed to whisper to him fondly-
Darling, yes, 1 love you too!
Darling, yes, I love you too!
The cry of war was sounded between
the grey anu Dluey
He FASTENED to his sweetheart to say
fond adieu,
Oh! Jack, don t leave your Flo,-'twiH
break my heart, she cried,
A fond earess, a sad gOOdbye-and
he had left her side
And he had left her side.
And when the war was over, his heart
beat with delight,
For soon he'd see his grille, to claim
her as his wife,
Her mother gently told him, when she
met him at the door,
That death had claimed his sweet
heart, his darling little Flo,
His darling little Flo.
