The ONLOOKER

by HENRY HOWLAND

He never told his love: she met him at the door And told him that he ne’er had looked so well before: She said she was so glad he had been pleased to call. And, talking, took his hat and hunj: It in the hall. She’d thought of him all day, she hastened to declare; She led him to a nook and sat beside him there; She deftly smoothed his tie and tucked one corner In, And with her little hand she softly touched his chin. —*> ' She told him she was sure he*d some day make diis mark: The nook in which they sat was all their own, and dark; _ He found her in his arms and vowing to be true: He never told his love —she made U needless to.
