My Sweetheart

                  
She placed one dainty hand in mine
      And looked into my eyes;
“Kiss me,” she said, her lips like mine,
      And did I show surprise!
Ah, no; I hugged and kissed her then,
      And laughed a glad “ha, ha!!”
While she returned them all again,
      And said “You dear old pa.”
