A Pretty Foot.

A Pretty Foot.
There's magic in laly's foot,
And well the ladies know It.
And she who has pretty one
10 pretty sure to showit;
At times you, too, are martyrcd by
The incest little ANGLE,
That shoots IN arrow through the eyer,
Within your heart to rankle
oscourse you turn your gaze aside,
And Ill your bushes slide -.e
For we'll you know shes not aware
Her skirts are raised a tribe:
And should you think she might psrchanc.
Have on loosened gaiter
Your fingers itch 70 play the part
ofmodsst lady's waiter.
Though tantalized till he Is crassd--
Stark raying With romancing--
That witching foot. along his brain,
A thousand waltzes dancing;
That while IL merely lightly pats,
As thoughtlSss she may move it,
No modest man would dare to dream
There was an ANGLE Dove It,
But when it trips along the street,
Through wind and mud and vapor,
By shsefest accident you see
Hes beautiful the taper;
And - it steps upon the walk,
Amid the crowd to miugle,
Two rcguish eyes look up and say,
81 wonder If he's singler'
But would have no lady think,
fancy her a schemcr,
Aud beg her to remember that
Tho poet 10 dreamer
He sees what others cannot see,
And seeks for hidden beauty
No pretty foot can lure him from
The path Of moral duty.
