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.
