AN OLD GIRL

Red naint blooms on her withered cheeks,
Gay ringlcts toss upon the air;
In pert, c0quettiSh tones she squeaks,
And initiates the baby stare.
She shows q dainty little shoe,
This sweet old girl Of-ffty-two.
She's broken lovers hearts score;
The finest men she might have had
She trembleS lest there may be more
Die for herself. or else SO mad.
In truth. no lover yet would WOO
This Sprightly girl of-1ifty
She modestiy ayerts her eyes;
She hides The blush that will moi come;
She gives the most heart-rendinS sighSi
She gigeles. and she bites her thumb.
She gYears bright cOlors, not few,
This charming girl of-iifty-tWo.
OF naughty men she Is afraid
What their intentions are she knows;
Her timid acts are neatly played;
She runs away, but never goes;
And braycly faces dangers, too,
This g1iiielcSs girl Of-fity-tWo.
She still has hopes that some fine day
A man, 10 claim her heart, VIII kneeL;
And cftcH thinks Just what she'll say
Before she faints, and how she'll feel
