A Perfectly Awfully Lovely Poem.
Her lessons were perfectly fearfully long , But never were perfectly said ; And when she failed , as often she did , Her face grew perfectly red . The church she attends is perfectly
mag—With a perfectly heavenly spire , And perfect crowds go there to hear A perfectly stunning choir . The latest style is perfectly sweet—The last the perfectest out ; The books she reads are perfectly good . ( Just here we raise a doubt . )
A ride she took was perfectly grand , On a perfectly gorgeous day , With a perfectly nobby friend of hers , Who happened to pass that way . The perfectly elegant falls she'd seen
When on her way to the lake ; And the graphic description she gave us all Was simply a modern mistake . The perfectly splendid foam dashed up In a perfectly killing style ;
And the perfectly terrible waves came clown In a perfectly lovely pile . I might go on with this " perfectly " poem And write to the end of time : But fearing to wear your patience out Will bring to an end my rhyme .
To Arthur .
TO ARTHUR .
CEKDAINLT , my dear Arthur , you have my congratulations and best wishes-Health , happiness , good fortune , aud pleasant riches Attend thee and thy , bride : and may she learn to speak Irish , And grace , home , heart , and hand , and charm away all that is churlish . You may send me an invitation to come to ball
your , And I'll dance with your bride , and my wit shall not pall ; And though I ' m quiet and grave , yet for the nonce 111 be the gayest of the gay , And gleam forth my brightest shafts as if I caught them from the sun ' s brightest ray . And you shall have the honour of being my host , And offer me a bed , a glass , and a toast ; And
together we'll share the comforts of a suitable provision , And luck go with us , if we ever have a division . GARTER .
