LOVE.
0 ! 'What is love ? JL'llrteU you dove ! * 1 ' And you can tell the lassies } It is, a snare, Set by the fair, To catch unwary assoa. .It ia a smile, Replete with guile, A side glance aud a tremble ; A tender squeeze Beneath the trees, With kisses to dissemble. In hi,*h. flown strain So'ito stricken swam May piMiso it m his iuadne-.s ; But, ah ! 'cro long, He'll change his hong, To one of bitter h.idne^. It is a sigh, A laujjuul eye, Sdino words about the weather ; A bilkon lnoji, A ajolden hoop, And tlmr. a life-long tether. C.W.M. Awanmtu.
