UNROMANTIC.
I watched you when the merry dance Went down the lighted hall, I met your bright and happy glance, Fair belle of all the ball. And, while you danced in blameless glee, In lovelorn mood I sighed, And thought, • How happy will he be Who wins her for his bride !’
I watched you during supper, when You lightly fared on lamb, Three-quarters of a good sized hen, And galantine and ham ; Then ices followed thick and fast, And then a greengage tart, Which finished up your slight repast, And gave me back my heart.
