 PINK DOMINOES

and Me were engaged, you see

On the eve of the Fancy Ball;

So a kiss or two was nothing to you

Or any one else at all.

Jenny would go in a domino—

Pretty and pink but warm;

While I attended, clad in a splendid

Austrian uniform.

Now we had arranged, through notes exchanged

Early that afternoon,

At Number Four to waltz no more,

But to sit in the dusk and spoon.
