ONE GLANCE.
Dedicated 10 Hotel Brtdes)
One glance across the dining room.
Aroused my heart to motion;
Unconscious smiled the genial groom
His bride so full of notion.

Her lips in pouting beauty;
Her teeth shone with the prido OF youth,
Her sole delight was duty

With fearful desperation
And like the bloody butcher, slew
Her beef with delectationl
