J. HENDERSON. r\LD Hymn Book, sure I thought I'd lo. -. T you In the days now long gone by ; I'd forgotten where I tossed you ; Gracious ! how I sigh. In the church a thin partition Stood between her pew and mine ; And her pious, sweet contrition Struck me as divine. Yes, remarkably entrancing Was she in her sable furs ; And my eyes were always glancing Up, old book, to hers. Bless you, very well she knew it, And I'm sure she liked it too ; Once she whispered "Please don't do it, " But her eyes... said l ' Do. ' ' 93 ON A HYMN BOOK. How to speak to tell my passion ? How to make her think me true ? Love soon found a curious fashion, For he spoke through you. How I vised to search your pages For the words I wished to say : And receive my labor's wages Every Sabbath day ! Ah, how sweet it was to hand her You, with lines I'd marked when found And how well I'd understand her When she blushed and frowned ! And one day, old book, you wriggled From my hand and, rattling, fell Upon the floor ; and she she giggled Did Miss Isabel.
