I SHEA
-
I fain would write on pleasant themesB
So let me prateC
Awhile of KateC
And if my rhyming effort seemsB
Uncouth or roughD
At any rateC
She's KateC
And that's enoughD
-
-
II HER EYESE
-
Her eyes are brightC
I cannot say like stars at nightC
Nor can I sayF
Like the Orb of DayF
Because such phrases are archaicG
And if I swearH
That they compareH
With diamonds rareH
That's too prosaicG
-
I've hunted my thesaurus throughI
The Century and Webster tooI
But all in vainJ
'Tis therefore plainJ
That they who made these books so wiseE
Had never seen her eyesE
-
-
III HER GOWNK
-
When Kate puts on her Sunday gownK
And goes to church all in her bestC
The watchful gargoyles looking downK
Relax their most forbidding frownK
And smile with kindly interestC
-
Discerning gargoyles could I beA
One of your number looking downK
With you I surely would agreeA
And share your amiabilityA
At sight of Kate and Sunday gownK
-
-
IV HER KNOWLEDGEL
-
How much she knows no one can tellM
But she can read and write and spellM
Divide and multiply and addC
And name the apples Thomas hadC
When John enticed him five to sellM
-
For jelly she does not say jellM
Nor horrify us with umbrellM
For all of which we're very gladC
How much she knowsN
-
She knows the oyster by his shellM
Detects the newsboy by his yellM
Enumerates the bones in shadC
And thinks my poetry is badC
Well well well well well well well wellM
How much she knowsN
-
-
V HER SIGHO
-
When she utters a sighO
'Tis a breath from the rosesP
And a hovering nighO
When she utters a sighO
The bees wonder whyO
No garden disclosesP
When she utters a sighO
'Tis a breath from the rosesP
-
-
VI HER RINGQ
-
Her ring goes round her fingerR
Oh foolish thingQ
Were I a ringQ
I'd not go round I'd lingerR
-
-
VII HER FAULTSS
-
Of faults she has but oneT
And that is she has noneT
-
-
VIII HER VOICEU
-
Sweet and soothing rhythmic tunefulM
Dulcet mellow unbassoonfulM
Zither 'cello lute guitarV
And there you areV
-
-
IX HER LOVEW
-
Do you love meA
