Charade.— Selected by Romany liye, Musselburgh:— Twas in the early month of May, When flowers first open to the day ; My first, within the garden bower, Enjoyed the cooling morning hour. She twined a wreath of balmy May, With dewy leaves and rosebuds gay ; And on the air her song did float, Sweet as my second's cheerful note. Her garland twined amid her curls, Adorniug more than gems or pearls ; Mv whole may well the flower forsake Upon those locks its place to take. 4.573.
