Ode to My New Bonn ct.

Soft triangle Of straw and lace
That curves around my blushing face
With such coy, bewtching grace,
No mortal man would dream your place
Was on my head.
Your airy touch can scarcely press
The shape from curl or flowing tress,
So light, so next to nothingness,
You surely could not well be less
And be bonnet.
A bit Of straw adorned with leather,
A yard of lace, spray Of heather,
Some bugles and tossing feather,
These tribes shaken all together
Thus were you made.
No cape with a starchy netting lined.
No buckram crown projects behind;
But streamers tlutter in the wind,
Where flows, in silken mesh confined,
My waterfall.
Yet most your dainty form / prize,
AS sweeping back upon mineeyes,
1t lets the wrinkled hillocks rise,
Where underneath in ambush lies
My pair Of mice.
Bat when rough autumn winds sweep past,
And all your laces shake aghast,
Then can you shield me from the blast.
And round my neck shelter cast,
10 keep me warm?
Alas, summer friend are you,
And only kind when skies are blue
| long have known the saying true
Old friends are better than the new.
When trouble comes.
So ere the dog day heats be fled,

For soon as Winter whistles dread
