HEARTLESS.<br />

Upon my darling's beaming eyes<br />

I plied my rhyming trade;<br />

Upon my darling's cherry lips<br />

An epigram I made;<br />

My darling has a blooming cheek,<br />

I penn'd a song upon it;<br />

And if she had but had a heart,<br />

Her heart had had a sonnet.<br />

CHILDHOOD.<br />

My child, we were two children,<br />

Small, merry by childhood's law;<br />

We used to creep to the henhouse,<br />

Aud hide ourselves in the straw.<br />

We crowed like cocks, and whenever<br />

The passers near us drew —<br />

" Cock-a-doodle!" they thought<br />

'Twas a real cock that crew.<br />

The boxes about our courtyard<br />

We carpeted to our mind.<br />

And lived there both together —<br />

Kept house in a noble kind.<br />

The neighbor's old cat often<br />

Came to pay us a visit;<br />

We made her a bow and courtesy,<br />

Each with a compliment in it.
