Sunday nigh ~
ohitis merry fun, this skating
How gay and blithe one feels
When gliding DER the polished door,
Upon four pair Of wbeelsl
To see some move on gracefully
VIII lie others break their pates;
oh graciousi ain'tit jolly.
This whirling round on skates?
Some get tumble over,
And, then, I'm sure Ills fan,
TO see them scramble up again,
And take another run,
The boys and girls together
GO OF like loving mates;
Ohl cracky, amt 1t pleasant,
This counting girls on skates7
You think you're going bravely,
And feel 30 calm and strong,
When, all at once the pesky skates,
eet started OF quite wrong;
And then you tumble over,
Which makes you curse the fate1,
And think 1t ar'nt 80 jolly,
This whirling round on skates.
You take bashful maiden
Upon your dexter arm,
Determined to protect her,
p. And keep her free from hahn,
When along some eprawling fellow,
Comes at tremendous rate,
And knocks your passion into pi,
with his confounded skate. issy
Don't talk Of Ice and Winter
OF freezing hands and toes
OF chilling winds that reddens
Your frozen cheeks and nose;
While, here, in any weather,
In the State Of all the States
We all can be so jolly rr
A 6irting round on skates.
