The Political Maud

Eugene Field July IL. 1ss4).
Ben Butler on a summer day.
Stood in a convention making hay;
The hay was sweet and the hay was dry.
But it wasn't as cooked as old Ben's eye,
For old Ben saw on gelding gay
Judge Nomination ride that way.
When the judge saw Ben in the hay at
work,
He stopped his horse with a sudden jerk,
And he rolled his eyes on the winsome
face
And the buxom form and the air of grace
And the wealth of cheek and the mesh
of hair
OF sweet Ben Butler a-working there.
Oh sighed the judge. that the fate
were mine
To wed with creature SO divine.
With Ben for a mate, my life would
Like poets song or an artists dream:
But when they heard of my marital
pick
How like steer some folks would kick
So fearful of what folks might say,
Judge Nomination rode away,
And left Ben Butler standing there
With her wealth of cheek and her mesh
of hair:
And of all sad words Of tongue and pen
The saddest are these: He wouldn t
have Ben"
