I SAW her first at Mt. Desert;
We had a desperate flirtation;
In fact, I did but little else
During the whole three months' vacation.
We met at Wallack's quite by chance;
On one side sat the dragon mother,
And, by the greatest luck in life,
I had a seat upon the other.
The play was Bulwer's Love and Pride;
And when the final act was over,
I whispered, "Dear, be my Pauline,
And I 'll be Claude, thy faithful lover."
A rosy blush o'erspread her cheeks,
Her eyes were hidden by their lashes,
As with a murmured "No," she turned
My golden hopes to dust and ashes.
But with a loving little glance,
She whispered when I 'd called her carriage,
"Pauline and Claude would never do;
THEY separated after marriage."
