TWENTY.

May the twenties yet triple,

And then add their half,

Still preserving the ripple

And ring of your laugh.

And may every bright twinkle

That falls from your eye

Serve to smooth out each wrinkle,

The track of a sigh.

When the twenties shall twinkle

And ten more shall run,

I hope every cute wink’ll

Still shine out with fun.

Oh the triple of twenty

Plus none less than ten!

May you be the same dainty

Sweet girly-girl then!
