A Medley of Poems Puns and Conundrums #265185

When she longs for fond caresses, and approaches with a smile, Though you feel care-worn, and weary, you will find it worth your while To return those loving tokens; it will ease the aching heart To remember how she loves you, if you thus will do your part. To remember how she loves you, if you thus do your part. Dont repel her with lier ardor, and command her to desist, Just because lifes cares are heavy, and some longed-for boon youve missed. Shame will overcome her longing for your kindness bye and And she will become more distant in deportment when you re nigh. IMien youll tliink her love has ended, and your own will colder grow. Discontent will fol<br><br>low quickly, and unkindness both will show. Tlius divorce courts are kept busy., Then in time take my advice. Keep the fires of love still burning. You will find it awful nice. Speak Not Unkindly. Speak not unkindly to the ones around the parent hearth. Reniembcr that true kindness is l)y far of greater worth. In every way than words unkind to those most dear your heart. If all would hut remember this, unkindness would depart. No doubt you think youll gain a point by giving others pain, But if you only knew the truth your loss is more than gain. In some respects it may appear your point youve gained quite well; But if the hearts of all could speak, a diff rent tale theyd tell. A tale of fear and disrespect from heli)less childhood, dear; Instead of love and trustfulness, which should from there appear, And from your dear companions heart, a tale of sheer disgust Which covers up and hides away all former love and trust. And your example, soon will be adopted, you will find By other members of your home, wholl learn to be unkind Unto each other day by day, and strife and discord reign t-iupreme, where love should hold full sway without a single stain.
