Me stood on the cool piazza
As the shades of evening fell,
And gazed on the lovely maiden,
Eutranced by her beauty's spell
Che balmy evening zephyrs
Played with each amber tress,
And her azure eyes were swimming
In sea Of tenderness.
Her lips, Just slightly parted
were tinged with the coral's fame,
And thought that her cheeks bright bIusnes
The hue OF the rose would shame.
While gazing in adr1iTtion
On the rare and radiant lass,
Thought only sweetest music
Through those coral lips could pass
But sudden change came DER her,
Gone was the smile SO bland,
And she smote in sudden anger
The back OF her lily hand.
And she cried, 'tHa! ha! I've got you!
You'll trouble my peace no moro.
