And all the girls we're there.
oh, vision rare and marvellous!
Scarce true it seems to state!
But every gosh-darned girl was there
At exactly half-past eight.
A symphony of sound was heard,
The swish and rattle Of speed
As q thousand letters like magic flew
From each little iron steed.
| And, oh! What couscienti0usness!
The angels ceased to weep
| And watched amazed with what great care
| Each girl at work did keep.
And never moment was wilfully spent
! In q wanton waste Of time
In powdering treacherous shiny nose
| Or adjusting curl sublime
And the mirrors galore that once before
Were worn to the thread OF decay
Now blissfully slept and memories kept
| OF, an earlier halcyon day.
Oh, sweet relief to my weary ears!
| Not once these yells did hear:
"Oh, Marie, what's this?" or Lee, what's that?
! Or 'C'mere, please, Rosie, dear"
And then methought sweeter sight
| Did greet my wondering eye:
/ On the wings of the morn, so swiftly borne,
! The Office boy sped by.
His feet scarce seemed to touch the ground
! My heart missed painful beat

Then one more miracle took place:
| At exactly halfpast five
Ny work was done, my rest begun
| And l was still alive
And as neared my home this song
To my trembling lips did start;
Flooding each corner of my soul,
