A MAY MEETING.

They met in a cake-shop hard by the Strand,

He in black broadcloth, and she in silk.

She had a glass of "fizz" in her hand,

He had a bun and a cup of milk.

She had a sunshade of burnished crimson,

He had a brolly imperfectly furled,

And a pair of pince-nez with tortoiseshell rims on.

He looked the Church, and she seemed the World.
