he sharp rat-tat-the post has come
Tidings are here Of friends long parted
To some Of hope and joy-to some
The news that leaves them broken hearted.
That heap Of letters which he bears
Who knows what destinies are in it2
Sorrow and laughter, mirth and tears;
The post l-some bless, some curse the
minute.
But If the face can tell one aught,
One scarcely now need be afraid-he
The best OF good news must have brought
To yonder bright-eyed smiling lady.
Good news, good news has come, tits plain
Is 1t from sister, brother, cousiu2
Or is 1t from some sighing swain -
Lovers she las at least dozen.
What words precisely writ are there
One need not now stay to discover:
Besides IL would not quite be fair
The readers shoulder TO peep over.
Enough proclaim those glistening eyes
The postman here has brought treasure
And If at times my lady sighs,
IT'S not in sorrow, but pure pleasure.
Wen have her here alone to read
To gloat in secret o'er her letter;
Her looks-whate'er its theme--Concede
1t could not we'll be any better.
Or, az we mentioned ''theme'' above,
Wen simply offer one suggestion
1t is not unrequited love-
And so we may dismiss the question.
