TO KATE.

I’m thinking of the time, Kate, When sitting by thy side,

And picking beans | gazed on thee, And felt a peacock’s pride—

In silence feaned we o’er the pan, And neither spoke a word:

But the rattling of the beans, Kate, Was all the sound we heard.

an ~ . x SSE Ter

Thy auburn curls hung down, Kate, And kissed thy lily cheek ;

Thy azure eyes, half filled with tears, Bespoke a spirit meek—

To be socharined as { wag then, Had ne’er before occurred

When the rattling of the veans, Kate, Was all the sound we heard.

I thought it was no wrong, Kate, So leaning o’er the dish,

As you snatched up a lot of beans, 1 snatched a nectar’d kiss—

A sudden shower made blind my eyea i neither saw nor stirred,

But the rattling of the beans, Kate, Was all tha sound f heard.
