THE DARK-EYED GENTLEMAN

I

I PITCHED my day’s leazings in Crimmercrock Lane,

To tie up my garter and jog on again,

When a dear dark-eyed gentleman passed there and said,

In a way that made all o’ me colour rose-red,

“What do I see—

O pretty knee!”

And he came and he tied up my garter for me.
