A CLERK AND HIS GIRL.

All day In a coat which is rusty black
/ perch on an office stool,
Aud the ear despise, for my exercise
Is TO plod on foot when the weather is COOL
And every morn, on my way down town,
As pass q millners store,
There's fair little maid looks out at me
with nod and smile rs pass her door
Through the great mont window catch glimpse
OF hats Of a marvellous shape,
And i sometimes stop and glance through the shop
, Al the mingled mass of ribbons and tape
There are satins and silks Of gorgeous hues.
And scarfs and Hces galorei
But the iairest sight through the window pane
Is the nod and the smile as pass her door.
Never u word have spoken to her,
And l do not know her name,
am conscious that / am bashfil and shy,
And some times fancy that she is the same.
Did we speak she might find me prosy and dull
SO I'm wise that ask no more
Than the host of good wishes she looks each day
In the nod aud the smile as pass her door.
Al my desk I've acquired permanent hendi
That clerk In IA threadbare suit
Who is somewhat bald, eau hardly be called
a lovers iact that can't dispute.
Yet every night AZ muse DER my pipe
And number my few friends DER,
give her a place who glAddens my way
With = nod and a smile rs pass her door.
