With ruby lips aud a wayward curl
That swings from a forehead of

That would hide her beautiful
eyes from sight.
Refused! And refused by winsome

That's sweeter than song birds when
they sing,
A girl who should smile wore a
fretted frown
And dropped me, rejected me,
threw me down!
And yet she smiled, yes, she even
laughed!
And come to remember, think she
chaffed
And joked with me, ere she
frowned the frown
That settled the thing, when she
