THE PROPOSAL.

TIE had no intention at all to propose
ri But the tender light OF the stars
l. - was shed,
The garden breathed with the scent
of the rose.
And the night bird sang-and he lost his
head.
It's apt to happen that way. you know.
When the moon is bright. and the girl is
fair, .tto
And the whippoorwil calls, and the roses
throw
Their fragrance sweet on the evening
air
He knew that he wasn't in love with her.
He liked them slender. and she was
stout
But tie spell of night made his pulses
stir.
And ere he could stop them the words
We're out
Then he gruaned within IN keen distress.
And the cold chills travelled along his
frame.
For he knew full well che would answer
ayes
And he held his breath tin the answer
came.
But the word was NO" and he thrilled
with bliss
Till he stopped to think she had spurned
his plea.
And ever since then-will you solve me
this?-
He has wanted but her and ardently.
