Skating is Alright Today Holiday Cards
|
Inside Verse:"Sending love to you and yours this holiday..." Back Poem:Fur-apparelled for skating, comes the pond's acknowledged Belle; I am duly there in waiting, for I'll lose no time in stating That I love the lady well. Off she circles, swiftly flying, to the pond's extremest verge; Then returning, and replying with disdain to all my sighing, And the love I dare not urge. Vainly do I follow after, she's surrounded in a trice; Other men have come and chaffed her, and the echo of her laughter Comes across the ringing ice. Still I've hope, a hope that never in my patient heart is dead; Though fate for a time might sever, though she skated on forever, I would follow where she fled.
-Mr. Punch"s Book of Sports, 19th c.
