The Kiss


THE KISS

"What other men have dared, I dare," He said.
"I'm daring, too: And tho' they told me to beware,
One kiss I'll take from you.
"Did I say one? Forgive me, dear;
That was a grave mistake,
For when I've taken one, I fear, One hundred more I'll take.
"Tis sweet one kiss from you to win, But to stop there?  Oh, no!
One kiss is only to begin;
There is no end, you know."
The maiden rose from where she sat
And gently raised her head: "No man has ever talked like that—
You may begin," she said.
