I Wonder.
Slip's the fairest little maiden In all the country round ; However so lone? or far you search, No fairer can be found. Her haiv is of the blackest, (And 1 always liked black) : It's tied up in a Psyche knot,! Or falls upon her back. Her eyes seem always merry,! No traco have they of sadness : If eyea are windows of the soul, Her soul is full of gladness. And then her mouth — a rosebud. To see it — perfect bliss is, It's just as sweet — well just as swaei, As sweet as her own kisses. Yes all the charms, she lias them, And others — scores and scores, I love, Hove, I love her— But I wonder if: she snores ?
