Vour laugh lings in my ear liko the wind-harj.'s strains or tho bleat of a xtray laiub on it bleak hillside. The dimples lu your cheeks are liko bowers in beds of roses, or hollows in cakes of homo-maid sugar.

Uncouth fears, like a thousand minnows, nibble at my tqurlts, nnd my soul Is pierced through with doubts, as an old choeso is bored with skippers. My love for you is stronger thau the smell of Cody's patent butter, or tho As thu song-biid hunkers ior tho light of day, tho cautious mouso tor the tresh bacon in tho trap, as a lean pup hank ers for now milk, so I long for thee.
