LANGUAGE OF 4 VEIL,

Sometimes my lady wears veil;
She wore the thing to-day
Her eyes shone through it like twin stars
From out the milky way
Twas all of white and when she wears
That veil too well | know
| may not dare approach the maid
She's like queen of snow.
But when my lady wears veil
OF lace, with dots and dashes,
Through which the warmth of her dear smile
Can penetrate in flashes,
She looks like some old time marquise
Brimful of wit and folly
And then know there's fun in store
That black veil is so jolly.
Sometimes she wears veil of brown.
Or dreary autumn yellow,
And then | know that she is bent
on lecturing a fellow.
Al how hate that thick brown veil,
Her wiBsome face quite hiding,
For then there's nothing but her voice
To mitigate the chiding.
Sometimes she wears no veil at all,
Without its shrouding mist,
She's at her best-for that's the sign
She% ldy 10 be kissed.
