Poems (Odom)/Just So!
JUST SO!
You may talk of the wise, prudent lady
Who never was known to be kissed:
But give me the dear little maiden
Whose lips I can never resist.
Who never was known to be kissed:
But give me the dear little maiden
Whose lips I can never resist.
'T is I 'd not care for a woman,
Who frowned at the touch of her hand;
But the pressure of soft rosy fingers
I swear I could never withstand.
Who frowned at the touch of her hand;
But the pressure of soft rosy fingers
I swear I could never withstand.
I heard of some lovers who never
Their haughty Dulcineas embraced—
That is all well enough—they are suited—
But 'tis.not at all to my taste.
Their haughty Dulcineas embraced—
That is all well enough—they are suited—
But 'tis.not at all to my taste.
Engaged to a girl and not kiss her,
Is something I don't understand;
Why, I never can sit by my darling
Without slyly, squeezing her hand.
Is something I don't understand;
Why, I never can sit by my darling
Without slyly, squeezing her hand.
Just think of it, boys, for a moment—
The rapture, the exquisite bliss,
Of two rosy lips lifted up to your own,
And you bending down for a kiss.
The rapture, the exquisite bliss,
Of two rosy lips lifted up to your own,
And you bending down for a kiss.
A kiss is so very entrancing,
It bears such a marvelous charm;
Don't tell me any thing so delightful
Could possibly be any harm.
It bears such a marvelous charm;
Don't tell me any thing so delightful
Could possibly be any harm.
