A STREET SKETCH

UPON the Kerb, a maiden neat—

Her hazel eyes are passing sweet—

There stands and waits in dire distress:

The muddy road is pitiless,

And ’busses thunder down the street!

A snowy skirt, all frills and pleat;

Two tiny, well-shod, dainty feet

Peep out, beneath her kilted dress,

Upon the Kerb.
