RAKINGS.
FOILED AGAIN. Wo met ; she smiled ; ~ A passion wild Through all my being thrilled. Her laughing glance . At me askance My soul with rapture filled. We met again; Again, the pain Of helpless love I felt. My fate was sealed, Compelled to yield, Down at her feet I knelt. There on my knees Beneath the trees I plead my helpless case.' - Th«ri, breathing fast, I looked at last Up in her 'blushing face, Where pink and white, Before my sight, A war of roses wag«d. .•-.•■ She shook her head And softly said, " Mercy, but I'm engaged."
