A Lovely Brunette.
I'm in love with a dark, witching maidcu From an isle in the blue southern sea. Charming girl, every curl Oi thy tresses is graceful to me. Though complexions are dark in the tropic 3. Her beauty is second to none. This brunette is my pet : She's the loveliest under the sun. For her breath's like tho perfume of roses In the lake-jewelled veio of Cashmere. Axid the air, everywhere, Is sweet when my lady is near. Ah, her eye shines as soft as a jewul, Half veiled by its beautiful lash ; Then its light, growing bright, At my smilo will rosponsively flash , Oh, her heart is as strong and as tender As beats in a woman's strong 1 breast, And her form, round and warm I 3 the loveliest man ever pressed. And the name of this lovely creature. With tho eye like a glittering star : 'Pon my word 'tis absurdBui; her name is ' Havanna cigar.'
