It came with the joyful June, love,—

The General election came;

And the persons who light the moon, love,

Were my partners in the game.

But the voters were rude and cruel—

They called me the Empire’s foe,

Though they deemed me a priceless jewel

Only a year ago.

St. Stephen’s Review. June 12 & 19, 1886.
