BALLING-
The soft loose gold of helplessness
l. st.aying about her face.
And the wind through its silken meshes
Isrunning fro,icksome race.
Her violet eyes-how they darken and fash
Her rose-red cheeks owthey glow!
As she stands anclo Deep in the milk-whit'
drifts!
Pelting me with the snow.
She tosses the soft fakes around her,
In her pretty, hoydenish play.
Till she looks like sea- nymph rising
Through the pillows of foam and spray.
She moulds the balls with her little bare hands
: Do you think she would pous or scold
If nestled the pink palms down in my breast
To warm them?-they look SO cold
Her white woo'en mittens are flung on the
snow,
Each one in itself fake,
And her silk scarf beside them lies,
Cojled up like a crimsoncd snake.
All about me the tracks Of her soft brown feet,
Have printed the downy snow,
And know by them where. another Spring,
The prettiest Aowers will grow.
She laughs and SCOTS when my snowballs fly
Harmless over her head,
And she flris her curls in saucy way,
And crouches in mimic dread;
She calls me sorry marksman,
An awkward fellow-and still
She, sly little wiich, knows well enough
1t isn't from lack OF skill.
She knows would sooner think
or tearing butterfly's wing,
OF beating lily, or throttliug
The first sweet robin of Spring,
Than of aiming at her in earnest,
Or hitting her if could.
Or harmirg so much IS tassel
OF her little scarle. hood.
Cav. beautiful Mad &c! Oh! what would she do
II my mouth was half as bold
As he crystals which fall on her lips and her
hair.
Like pearls among rubies and gold?

love
{ sher light feet have trampled the snow?
Tha. The missiles she filings, which are ice to
my face.
Are fire TO my heart, does she know?
Sweet tease! does she guess am wondering
Whether she'll ever be
n the long, long future before US both,
Anything more to me
Than little hoyden. with wild, gold hair,
And rose-red cheeks in glow,
Who stands ancle-deep, in the milk-white
