WAITING FOR THE CHANCE.

They say | am shy young man,
don't believe lis true;
When friends come touching now an
then.
They find the coins not few;
)But leap year has me hoping,
! I'm going to dance
Where girls will do the courting-
I'm waiting for my chance.
If one that's sweet and charming
Asks for my dainty hand,
III say it is too sudden,
For me no golden band;
I'll promise to no other
Such affections e'er I'll give,
My turn to say Your brother
I'll be, dear, while | live"
