A Little Vagabond.

Now who may this be?" / questioned,
AS the door was pushed ajar,
And wee bit ladde entered,
With a face as bright as a star.
He DOTTED his hat till its feather
Swept down to the very floor.
And he laughed, as | GROSSLY babe him
Make haste and shut the door,
"Ohi I always leave it open
The least little crack he said.
With touch of his hand on my shoulder
And a toss of his curly head.
''For though am swift in coming,
/ am sometimes swift to go;
AS light as an airy bubble
l am floating to and fro.
For I am a vagabond, lady,
And you surely know my name,
In golden letters, Cupid
Is writ on the scroll of Fame
And here I bow, dear lady,
And prithee. take for mine
The heart i haste to offer,
And be my valentine
A vagabond lover, surely.
Fer the wind blew fast the door;
And nothing was left of Cupid
But his shadow on the floor
