With Cupid at the helm.

Anon, a faint smile pursed her lips

And shook her dainty finger-tips,

As breezes shake the boughs;

And then a quick, impetuous frown

Came gathering from her ringlets down,

And perched upon her brows.

Ah, she was thinking then, I ween,

Of me, poor clumsy dunce, who e'en

Had torn her silken dress.
