Our American Queen.

She seeks. her garden in the morn,
And Rlsi1s eEd delves with care;
a Eiasha1a ij7on--5 crowns her head
and hides her golden hair
She's not &Araid &c soil her hands;
Shes busy as a beei
The spade she handles with much skill:
The queen OF spades is she.
And later, on the links she's found,
With skirt to match her hose;
Just note the color Of her cheeks.
And watch her graceful pose.
The caddy hands her out her club.
And then he makes the tee;
She drives, and you conclude at once.
The queen Of clubs is she.
The afternoon viii find her out
To see a game Of Bail;
She knows the fine plays when they're
made.
And does applaud them all.
She's pleased, Of course. when her boya
win,
And cIaps her hands with glee;
You cannot lose her on the field
A diamond queen is she.
At night you see her at the dance
Bewildering and sweet:
a score Of men about her would
Do homage at her feet;
She smiles, and all the world smiles,
too,
So It appears to me.
With one accord We do proclaim,
The queen OF hearts Is she.
