SOME DOUBTS.

Fair Mildred has a rounded form
OF shapeliness divine,
Displaying most bewitching curves
OF grace in every line,
But even while l contemplate
Her figure with delight
/ wonder II she takes II off
When she retires at night.
She has a wealth of golden hair.
This paragon of girls;
1t frames her brow in silken waves
And shining braids and curls;
It's never straight or stringy when
BY damp east breezes blown.
l wonder If those sunny locks
Are Mildred's very own.
The color of a damask rose
Is on her oval cheek,
The perfect tint of youth and health
That many vainly seek,
But still cruel. Carping doubt
My admiration mocks.
I wonder II perchance she keeps
Her bushes in box.
