Girl Friends
Reading edition
On the bench at the piano, playing Very close together, Fingers touching one another lightly— Light as any feather— Sat they, smiling to each other brightly What their hearts were saying. One would turn the sheets of music over Gently, for the other, As a kind and sympathetic sister Helps a younger brother; Till at last she bent and swiftly kissed her As one would a lover. NORMAN R. JAFFRAY.
