A PRETTY FOOT.

There's magic in pretty foot,
And well the ladies know il
And she who has pretty one
Is pretty sure to show it;
At times, you, too, are martyrcd by
The incest little ankle
That shoots an arrow through the eyes,
Within your heart TO rapkle.
OF course you turn your gaze aside,
And all your. bushes stihe,
For well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised a trIAe.
But should you think she might Perchaac
Have on a loosencd gaiter,
Your fingers itch to play The part
Ofhonest lady's waiter.
But when it trips across the street,
Through wind, and mud and yaPor,
BY sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper;
And as it steps upon the walk,
Among the crowd to mngle,
Two roguish eyes look up and say,
81 wonder fines single :"
But would have no lady think,
fancy her a scheemer,
And beg her to remember that
The poet IS dreamer;
He sees what others DO not sec,
And seeks for hidden beauty
Nopretty face can lure him from
The path Of moral duty.
