BALLADE OF A BEARD.
With downcast head
And shltty eye
With timorous tread
Why does he shy
Like crime scared?
He grows beard
Fate weighs like lead.
Ah! could he die;
Al Iifs'y }9's bat 5aS nee lie;
His eyes are bIeared.
He grows beard
Sun overhead.
Blue in the sky.
DsynSREs SatSRss sw9E: dread
Friendship is feared
Where can he hie?-
He grows a teard

We're likewise %queered";
