To My Father
That the verses in this little book will bring back sweet memories of the long ago to every reader, as they do to me, is the earnest wish of the humble gatherer of these old-fashioned flowers. G. S. C.
A LITTLE BOOK OF OLD TIME VERSE
Love guides the roses of thy lips, And flies about them like a bee; If I approach he forward skips, And if I kiss he stingeth me.
Love in thine eyes doth build his bower, And sleeps within their pretty shrine, And if I look the boy will lower, And from their orbs shoot shafts divine. — Thomas Lodge
Send home my long-stray'd eyes to me, Which, O! too long have dwelt on thee: But if from you they've learnt such ill, To sweetly smile, And then beguile, Keep the deceivers, keep them still.
