RECONCILED,
Her dainty grace, Her dimpled face
They set me crazy ; Her perfect form, 'Mid sealskins warm— -
She was a daisy I Her faithful slave, O'er her I'd rave
"From morn till even ; Though Fate made me Sixteen, when she
Was thirty-seven. 'Neath passion's sway I urged one day That we should marry ; She shook her head And smiling said :
' No, thank you, Harry !' 1 Well, let her go ! I. hardly know.
Why I should bother ; For all 'twas rough — She's old enough To be my mother.
