AS USUAL.

IN TRIOLETS.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

'Twas a violet blue,

That she plucked me so shy,

In her pert way so true,

'Twas a violet blue,

Might that sweet hand I woo!

Was there love in that sigh?

'Twas a violet blue

That she plucked me so shy.

'Twas a rapturous kiss,

That I stole in a trice-

Stay sweet moment of bliss!

'Twas a rapturous kiss,

Was there right there a miss,

Rosy gems without price?

'Twas a rapturous kiss,

That I stole in a trice.

'Twas a "No" on a mit

That she sent me so sad,

With her deft fingers knit;

'Twas a "No" on a mit,

Nothing more-cruel wit!

Was the symbol so bad?

'Twas a "No" on mit

That she sent me so sad.

[Mercury.
