Yawcob Strauss and Other Poems/To Bary Jade


 * The bood is beabig brighdly, love;
 * The sdars are shidig too;
 * While I ab gazig dreabily,
 * Add thigkig, love, of you.
 * You caddot, oh! you caddot kdow,
 * By darlig, how I biss you —
 * (Oh, whadt a fearful cold I've got!
 * Ck-tish-u! Ck-ck-tish-u!)


 * I'b sittig id the arbor, love,
 * Where you sat by by side,
 * Whed od that calb, autubdal dight
 * You said you'd be by bride.




 * Oh! for wud bobedt to caress
 * Add tederly to kiss you;
 * Budt do! we're beddy biles apart —
 * (H-o-rash-o! Ck-ck-tish-u!)


 * This charbig evedig brigs to bide
 * The tibe whed first we bet:
 * It seebs budt odly yesterday;
 * I thigk I see you yet.
 * Oh! tell me, ab I sdill your owd?
 * By hopes — oh, do dot dash theb!
 * (Codfoud by cold, 'tis gettig worse —
 * Ck-tish-u! Ck-ck-thrash-eb!)


 * Good-by, by darlig Bary Jade!
 * The bid-dight hour is dear;
 * Add it is hardly wise, by love,
 * For be to ligger here.


 * The heavy dews are fallig fast:
 * A fod good-dight I wish you.
 * (Ho-rash-o ! — there it is agaid -
 * Ck-thrash-ub ! Ck-ck-tish-u!)
