On a silent night as the stars were twinkling Through the cold and bracing air, A maiden stood, with furs all laden, And said, " Carl, please take me there." •■ Where ?" asked Carl, in ascents sullen, And before he'd time to think, The Baucy maid, with a pretty chuckle, Said, •• You stupid, to the Rink." Chorus. Then she took bis arm, as he lit his meerschaum, Though he did not like this at all, For Oiis saucy, bright-eyed, dear little maid Made Carl take her to the Hall. When they took their seats in the copy building, They both exclaimed, " It's grand." " Go j[ou, dear Carl, and learn the skating, I will listen to the Hand." Like a faithfnl slave, Carl donned the rollers, And said, " If I my nock should break, Remember this my sweet little darling, That I do so for your sake." Chorus. Did he ever return ? No, he never returned, For with one big fearful sweep He made a grab, but clutched at nothing, For he went bang in a heap. Then the maiden flew to her prostrate lover. Then she lifted up his face, md cried, " Dear Carl, come speak my my darling," And he feebly mnttered " Grace " j 'Twas said so sweet, that it made her tremble, And here I must confess That Gracie vowed, if he'd "pop the question," That her answer would be " Yes." Chorus. We'll, the) 're man and wife in a nice little cottage. And they're happy in this state, And the thing that brought them all these blessings. TVas, just learninghow to SKATE.
