DORIS MANN.
(Song.) Doris JMaim was blythe and gay — Fond of work and full of play! Young and fair and ta>ll,was she — Boyiahlike, good company ! O Doris Maim! O Doris Mann! Where is thy blythesome laughter gone ? "Alas!" she said, "my boy, my love, Has gone to sea, and I am lonesome and forlorn!" • Doris Mann one day came back From the parting with her Jack! " I will soon return," he said, " Rich, and ready to be wed!" O Doris Mann, etc. " Doris Mann, twelve months will pass Swiftly, sure, to both of us." •" I will wait." She simply kissed, Hugged him once unto her breast. O Doris Mann, etc. Doris Mann is aged now ; Silvery is her hair, her brcny Lined with waiting long. She starts, Hearing his beloved footsteps. O Doris Mann, etc. Doris Mann sleeps by the sea, Nigh the waves that silently Shrouded her beloved one — Both were faithful, both are gone ! O Doris Mann! O Doris Mann! Where is thy blythesome laughter gone? "Alas!" she said, "my boy, my love, Has gone to sea, and I am lonesome and forlorn!" — H. A. COBBLEDICK. Otautau, March 12.
