To Give Fame Worth.

If fame should come and stroke my hair Or chuck my chin or pat my cheek Or kiss my lips, I would not care If you were there— Fame sounds no music when you speak! If Fame should come and smile at me (The smile which many men most prize), I would not thrill with ecstacy Save could I see My love's reflection in your eyes.

If Fame should come to me and say "Take me to have forever more," I'd turn the golden guest away Could you not stay To mistress mine from door to door. creature coy, for Fame I'm keen, But naught is Fame compared fas theej To make me happy and serene Just be my queen; Ri nr£ °'% my "tePPing heart's demesne. In en Fame may urge its wiles on me! —A. Walter TJtting.
