Age
Description
Summer's lovely foliage
Will soon be past and gone.
And the autumn's luscious fruitage,
We then may gaze upon.
Then the youths will think of marriage;
And the lovely maiden fair
Will seek perchance to manage
To crimp or bang her hair.
Then she'll study graceful carriage,
To beguile the wayward heart;
And the other maids disparage,
In the race to get a start.
She will, like a graceful savage,
Seek a lover to ensnare;
With her eyes his heart she'll ravage,
And drive him to despair;
And if he's reached the pair-age,
The lovely little deaer
May crown her life with marriage,
E'er the closing of the year.
Will soon be past and gone.
And the autumn's luscious fruitage,
We then may gaze upon.
Then the youths will think of marriage;
And the lovely maiden fair
Will seek perchance to manage
To crimp or bang her hair.
Then she'll study graceful carriage,
To beguile the wayward heart;
And the other maids disparage,
In the race to get a start.
She will, like a graceful savage,
Seek a lover to ensnare;
With her eyes his heart she'll ravage,
And drive him to despair;
And if he's reached the pair-age,
The lovely little deaer
May crown her life with marriage,
E'er the closing of the year.
