You are in the stirring world,

Conscious you-are being whirled
Farther yet: away.

With heart beating, with eyes glistening,

Write her every day.

Would you some kind service render
Sweet attention pay ?
Then a loving letter send her
When you are away.
Would you her home life brighten ?
Would you all her sorrows lighten ?
Bonds of sweet affection tighten ?
Write her every day.

And, however far you. wander,
I am sure Ttwould pay,
Could you see her read and ponder
. Over what you say;
~Have your tablet in your grip,

Then donTt let the chances slip,
Write her every day.

If you chance to gush a little,
And perhaps you may,
