is the verse.
Sheila.
Katie had the grand eyes. and Della
had a way with her.
And Mary had the saints face.
and Maggie's waist was neat.
But Sheila had the merry heart that
travelled all the day with her.
That put the laughing on her lips
and dancing in her feet.
I've met with martyrs in my time.
and laith, they make the best
Of it,
But tbs the accomplishing ones
that wear a sorrow long.

And out of all the girls I knew-the

Twas only Sheila Of the laugh
that broke her heart and died.
