TO M A E Y .<br />

^f/fkUY, Mary, gentle cousin,<br />

1 have loved but just a dozen<br />

Well it might have been a " score,''<br />

Twenty darlings—never more<br />

Ere I gave my heart to thee.<br />

Mary, Mary, can it be.<br />

Thou refusest love to me ?<br />

Mary, Mary, gentle<br />

cousin,<br />

I've forgot the <strong>other</strong> dozen,<br />

" Other twenty," be it so,<br />

They were loves of long ago ;<br />

Now my love is<br />

all for thee.<br />

Mary, Mary, can it be.<br />

Thou refusest love to me '?<br />

" I am teasing ; I am chaffing "<br />

;<br />

Well, perchance, you may be right.<br />

When I meet your blue eyes laughing.<br />

Brimming over with delight,<br />

Mary, jMary, I forget<br />

Niggard Fortune, pressing debt<br />

Gaze on you <strong>and</strong> feel the earth<br />

The home of Beauty, Love <strong>and</strong> Mirth.
