One Who Wooes the MUSES.
By Beatrice FaI,1aN

Listen, darling, to loves refrain:
Don't let my pleading be in vain.
How | long to caress, and call you dear.
And am happy only when you are near.
Think of my sad and lonely life;
How I miss the care Of a loving wife.
No one to watch for my coming home.
When night draws near and work is
done;
No little babies to romp on the floor
And laugh with delight as l enter the
door;
No one to greet me with heart and
hand
A lonely life has the bachelor man.
Listen darling, to Loves refrain
Don't let my pleading be in vain.
That some day you will cheer this life,
And promise to be my own sweet wife"
