SHE SHOOK HER HEAD, by                    
First Line: May I kiss you, dear,' a youth once cried
Last Line: She turned aside -- and shook her head.
Subject(s): Kisses


"MAY I kiss you, dear," a youth once cried,
Although scarce hoping what he said;
But the maiden turned away her eyes
And slowly, sadly, shook her head.

"But would you mind," he still went on,
"Now would you really care," he said,
"If I should kiss you?" and again
She turned aside -- and shook her head.
