like cellar doors in country town, and
ifled up my ears TO catch the silvery
accents OF your voice My tongue re.

drauk in the sweet infection Of love rs a
thirsty man swalloweth tumbler Of hot
whisky punch.
Since the light Of your fase fell upon
my life, sometimes feel as II ] could
lift myself up by my boot-strap to the
top of the church steepe, and pull the
bsllrope for singing school. Day and
night you are in my thoughts, Whom
Aurora, blushing like bride, rises from
her saffron colored couch when the jay
bird pipes his tuneful lay in the apple tree
by the spring house; when the chanti
cleers shrill clarion heralds the coming
morn; when the awakening pig arises

his morning refreshments; when the
drowsy beetle wheels to droning flight ut
sultry noon.tde; and when the lowing
herds come home at milking time,
think ofthee, and, like piece OF gum
elastic, my heart seems stretched clear
across my bosom Your hair is like the
name of my sorrel horse powdered with
gold and the brass pine skewered thro'
your waterfall Gil me with unbounded
awe. Your forehead is smoother than
the elbow OF al old coat Your eyes are
glorious to behold In their liquid depths
! see legions Of little cupids bathing, like
a cohort OF ants in an old. army cracker
When their 6rs htme upon my manly
breast 1t penetrated my whole anatomy
as load Of bird shot through q rotten

parian marble, and your mouth is puck

your lips, like honey on bears paw
aud myriads of unfedged kisses are there
ready to fly out and light somew here,
like blue birds out oftheir parents nest
Your laugh rinlsain my ears like the
