THE BUCKLE.
(Sent in by Mil ran rot Mackenzie, Silver Street, New I'lymouth.) I had a silver buckle, I sewed it on my shoe. Ainl 'in-nth a cprig of mistletoe, I danced the evening through. I had a bunch of cowslips, I hid them in a grot, In case the elves should come by night And me remember not. I had a yellow rilwnd, I tied it in my hair, That, walking in the garden. The bird* might it there. I had a secret laughter, I laughed it near a wall. Only the ivy and the wind, May tell of it at all.
