NOBODY'S DARLING.

Little and pallid, poor and shy,
With downcast look in her soft gray eye,
Not scornful toss of a queenly head,
But,a dropping bend of the neck instead!
No ringing laugh, and no dancing feet,
| No subtle wiles, and abandon sweet,
No jewels costly, and no garments fine
She is Nobody's Darling-but mine!
No dolly Warden" coquetish airs;
No high-heeled boots to throw her down
stairs;
No yachting jacket and nautical style,
With a sailors hat that she calls her tile"
But 'Lady" is stamped on her quiet brow;
And she crept into my heart, 1 can't tell how,
Not made to dazzle, but born to shine.
Nobody -nobody's Darling but mine!
No saucy, ravishing, girlish grace,
But settled calm on the sweet, pale face;
No sparkling chatter and repartee,
Very silent and still is she.
White and still is my pearl of pearls,
Yet to me she ssemeth the queen of girls;
Why 1 love her can't define,
For she's Nobodys-nobody's Darling-but
mine! .,....
Were riches hers, or beauty rare,
She would lose her charm, become less fair;
Were rings to shine on those fingers small,
They could not add to their grace at all.
She would learn to smile and to speak by rule
In the foolish book of Dame Fashions school;
And the world to spoil her would soon com
bine;
| No,o she's Nobody's Darling-but mine!
