The oId-FasIlioned Bonnet.
(By Thomas CaIver.

Nby IHOIldS IdlNeFb
How dear is the bonnet 1 knew in my
childhood,
That crowned a sweet face like q
halo of light;
With all of the flowers of the garden
and wildwood
Dedecking its archway with colors
The widespreading scoop and the feath-
ers upon it;
The ribbons with big bows tied under
the chin
oh, dear to my heart is the old-fash-
ioned bonnet
That always stayed put and with nc
bonnet pin!
The pretty poke bonnet. the mighty
scoop bonnet
The old-fashioned bonnet tied under
the chin.
How dear to my youth was that darling
old bonnet,
Around a sweet face far more prec-
ious than goldi
It seemed like a poem, an old-fash-
ioned sonnet,
About perfect features 1t loved to en-
fold
Bright eyes and that mouth-oh. how
bitter to leave it!
That mouth with kiss that II seemed
to hold in
How sweet from the depths of the
scoop to receive it,
The kiss in the bonnet with no bon
net pin;
The pretty poke bonnet, the mighty
scoop bonnet,
The old-fashioned bonnet tied under
the chin.
