o Margarine, you pretty girl
Intent on silken labor, f-ss Es5rE
Of seamstresses the pink and pearl, sra
Excuse peeping neighbor! 1904
Those eyes, for ever dropping, give
The long brown lashes rarely;
But vloets in the shadows live
For once unveil them fairly -2
Hast thou not lent that founce enough
OF looks so long and earnest?
Lo, here's more 'penetrable stuff
To which thou never turnest
Ye graceful fingers, deity speed
How slender and how nimble!
0, might wind their skeins of thread,
Or pick up their thimble!
How blessed the youth whom love shall bring,
And happy stars embolden,
To change the dome into ring,
The silver into goldenl
Who'll steal some morning to her side,
To take her fingers measure,
While Maryanne pretends to chlde,
And bushes deep with pleasurel
Who'll watch her sew her wedding gown,
Well concious that it is hers;
Who'll CLEAN tress, without frown,
With those so ready scissors?
Who'll taste the ripenings ofthe south,
ao The fragrant and delicious ora
Don't put the pins into your mouth,
o, Margarine, my precious
I almost wish it was my trust
To teach how shocking that is;
I wish / had not as l must,
To quit this tempting lattice.

Across q street so narrow;
A thread of silk to string his bow,
A needle for his arrowi
