Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 116, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 May 1910 — Thy Hosiery. [ARTICLE]

Thy Hosiery.

The socks I dam for thee, dear heart. Mean quite a pile of work to me; I count them over, every one apart. Thy hosiery, thy hosiery. Each sock a mate, two mates a pair. To clothe thy feet in storm and cold; I count each sock unto the end, and —— find I've skipped a hole. Oh, carelessness, this is thy reproof. See how it looms across my sole, I grind my teeth, and then in very ■ ■ . truth ■ . - I dam that hole, sweetheart, I dam a • that hole! —Puck. '
