MAY MARJORY.

Beautiful May Marjory,
Walking sadly in the sun,
Passing the ripe roses by,
Plucking ne'er a one;
What should ail her so to sigh,
Wild and wilful Marjory?
Here it was May Marjory
Met young Allan yestermorn;
Here she gave her heart the lie,
With her words of scorn.
Many a morrow may she sigh,
Weary-wandering Marjory.
