(Rough-weather notes from the New Birthday-Book)

MONDAY

IF you're waking, please don't call me, please don't call me, Currie dear,

For they tell me that to-morrow toward the open we're to steer!

No doubt, for you and those aloft, the maddest merriest way,—

But I always feel best in a bay, Currie,

I always feel best in a bay.

TUESDAY

Take, take, take?

What will I take for tea?
