When the shadowy CLINT of the freight
Danced htfully on the opposite wall.

Were there to see the ghostly ball;
Tongs and scuttle. hearth-dogs and cat,
Venus de Milo and Mandarin fat,
Table and lamp, and chairs wh re we sat,
In rhythmic measure went round and round
In rhythmic measure with never sound.
While Pollys arms as she wound and wound
Looked like fiddler drawing his bow
Across his fiddle to and fro;
The strings were those of the skein, you know.

I held the skein. Unknown her long,
And my heart had learned the same old song
That hearts have sung since hearts were made,
Trilled in the sunlight or sobbed in the shade
But my lips were mute, for 1 was afraid
To speak my thoughts. So held my peace
And borrowed hope and took new lease
OF friendship I hated yet dreaded might cease
For Polly was oddish and queer in her ways,
Her yeas were nays and hel Lays were yeas,
And it often took me days and days
To ind out if she was vexed or pleased
Or if I'd been wounded or only teased;
But her ladyship was this night appeased.

And as they escaped, my outstretched hands
Were stretched out further and further still

Only little pit tired. she said.
And, perhaps, suspicion of ache in the head
That nestled close under beard that was red,
But is auburn now. And she calls me Ned,
And says it was really very i'll bred
TO kiss her and hold her waist instead
OF the skein, and she'll never trust me again,
But she has. for years have flown since then
