SHE LEAVES IRELAND.
1- Aunt Mary longed again to see the towers of W New York,
And Fluffy, anxious to oblige, a steamer took from Cork
The men of Cork spoke very fast to tell her their despair
To think that she was going to leave and would not settle there
And Fluffy, as she' left the shore, of Queenstown, heaved a sign
And wished that she might hve'again the happy days gone by i ,
But shuffleboard and moonlit walks (with aunty near at hand)
Soon made dear Fluffy quite content to miss the sight of land.
2- The third day o'ut'a bishop grand from England's humid shore
Watched Fluffy playing shuffleboard and also kept the score.
All morn she played and as he watched he said, "If s plain to me
That she'd make just the wire i warn i '5' x r
The captain from the bridge looked down and saw the unconscious girt
a -J u.meeP a A: "Fffid. mv heart is in a whirl
If I could win that lovely maid I'd give up my command
And, wedding here, I'd surely be content to live on land.
r
. 3- Tne good ship's doctor saw her standing at her aunty s side
To watch a school of porrises that some one had espied
: r "If I could win that maiden's hand I'd settle down for life '.. ,
: ' And make her in a score of months a famous doctor s wife ,
A stoker, coal begrimed and hot, who'd come to breathe fresh air,
r ' Stood quite transfixed with happiness to see her leaning there
' "If I was higher up than I can ever- hope to be
' "I'd ask that angel'up aloft if. she would marry me. , ,
: 4- But though the Bishop took a chance and told her what fought. -
" 4 . And though the Captain cleared his throat and mentioned what he sought,
1 And toulh the DoSor hemmed and hawedthen blurted h,s passion.
Dear- Fluffy smiled on each alike in quite ner u. . . -.
TUrsA said to each, in dulcet accents mellow,
. "There's one of nature's noblemen, a really charming fellow
-- - Ml say no more." She givesa look andeach ,n turn sKeaaaa,
: Now was-the man an Irishman or was it Josepn irauu..
