Poetry of Kansas
 

My Love

Her face lights up with happy smile,
   As I come near her.
Her thoughts, I know, are free from guile,
And in her heart dwells ne'er a wile;
   No need to fear her.
 
My arms enfold her, sweet and fair.
   (Full oft I've kissed her),
While o'er my shoulder falls her hair
In golden ringlets, rich and rare__
   My baby sister.
