NOT ENCAGED.
‘ Are you engaged ?’—He whispered low And low the sail sea breezes Went sighing through the stilly night And through the leafy freezes. ‘ Are yon engaged ?’—He whispered low And low the white capped billows Come drumming in upon the beach Green fringed with drooping willows. ‘ Are you engaged ?’—He whispered low And low, the night birds winging Their silent courses through the sky, Brought distant notes of singing. ‘ Are you engaged ?’—He whispered low. * No, no,' she said, and tarried A moment, while he kissed her hand, ‘No, no,’ she said, ‘l’m married.’
