SEE the maiden with fan,
Flirting fan!
With its whirling and its twirling it's enough
to madden man!
How it 1utters, flutters, fiutters,
In the balmy breeze of night,
While the merry maiden utters,
In a tone Of calm delight,
Airy words, words, words,
Like the twitter OF the birds,
While her lover looks and listens as he slyly
tries to scan
Every feature of that maiden, as she flirts her
fragrant fan!
o, the fan. fan, fan,
o, the fuctuating fan,
What felicity the fair sex finds in nourishing
fan!
