A Leap Year Vision.

A Leap Year Vision.
BY EUGENE FIELD.
Gao forget that winter night
In eighteen eighty-four,
When Nellie, charming little sprlte,
Came tapping at the door?
GOOD evening, miss blushing said,
For in my heart knew
And knowing, hung my pr city head
That Nellie came to WOO.
She clasped my big, red hand. and fell
Adown upon her knees,
And cried: ''You know I love you well.
So be my husband, please!'
!. And then she vowed she'd ever be
A tender wife and true
All. what delight it was to me
That Nellie C anne to WOO!
She'd lace my shoes and darn my hose,
And mend my shirts, she said,
And grease my comely Roman nose,
Each night on going to bed;
She'd build the fires and fetch the coal,
And split the kindling, too
Loves perjuries overwhelmed her soul
When Nellie came to WOO,
And as 1, blushing, gave no check
To her advances rash,
She twined her al ms about my neck
And toyed with my muStache:
And then she pleaded for kiss,
While What could / do
But coyly yield me to that bliss
When Nellie came to WOO.
/ am engaged. and proudly wear
A gorgeous diamond ring,
And shall wed my lover fair
Some time in gentle spring.
/ face my doom without sigh
And SO. forsooth, would you,
Ii you but loved as fond as 1,
And Nellie came to woo.
