W. W. BARNARD & CO., l^ii^l%^'' CHICAGO. 



"Voii are my garden.' he declared, 



"Vour cheeks are roses red; 

 Your lips are lioneysuckle, and 



Each eye a pansy bed ! 

 Vour throat's a lily and your ears 



Are dainty pinks and rare; 

 Vour snowy brow is fringed about 



With wreatlis of maiden liair." 



The gentle maiden looked away 



And sighed a little sigh, 

 And then she said : ''\ ou've skipped my nose, 



O prythee. tell me why? 

 My cheeks, my ears, my eyes, my lips, 



My throat, my brow, my hair 

 Are on your list— what ails my nose 



That it should not be there.-' " 



"Vour lips are honeysuckle and 



Your ears are pinks,"' he said; 

 "Rebellious sprays of maidenhair 



Are clustered "round your head; 

 Eacli of your dimpled cheeks is like 



A fragrant blushing rose — 

 As for your nose, fair maiden, it's 



The loveliest thing that blows! "
