WONDERING.
Cozily dolly,
Burneth the FIRE,
Outside the tempest
Gets higher and higher.
Fitfully. sIitfully,
Bloweth the wind
Iauter the garments
Are gathered behind.
Tossingly crossingly,
Goeth the maid,
Muddy, scuddily
Never dismayed.
Cozily, dolly,
Burneth the hre,
Ruffies are gathered up
Higher and higher.
Shockingly stockingly,
Showeth the stride
OF the maiden storm-driver,
Who souddeth outside
Painfully, panefully,
Watch the show
From my warm corner
Where storms do not blow.
Wond-ringly, blundringly
Just like man.
Pondring how ladies
Eternally can.
Wear thus forever
Irrational clothes;
Halfmasted wetweather
Displayers of hose.
