The rival'eautie laid their hanls
On "Planchefto's" stiAbordl heart,
Querying silently tile flifle
Witb faces held apart.
"Which does he love, tell we, Planchet t e?"
Fair Lily softly said.
'-Whioh does he love?" said queenly Rose,
Bending her haughty head.
The white henj ti-ff#f8ed like a dove,
The brown one fashed its ring,
And still the pencil wrote no word,
Dragged, lilfe a sullen thing.
Whille quiet tansy, looking on,
Waltet its pranks to see:
Foldittg Hder secret in her heart,
Softlf dftd Ailently.
"Come hIiflier ansy." Like a dove
A small inud trembling fell,
When like a ialrd, uncanny thing,
The board obeyed her 9611.
'Wrote "Y-o-u," Ol I wiso Planchet to,
Worthy the Delphic priesiss' crowq;
Each blushi'g maidett saw herself
Thus promptly frfttea d&wn.
The hero catn', as heroes voill.
Proving all ftane tWo
And, glancittg it their paper, said,
"What's written ?" "Y.o.u."
"What was the question, ladies fair,
Can I not know 1" Ah rie;
"May I one edrffest question ask,
Through tite diablerle ?"
It answers fVdisy.'
She has fled
Through (he open doort
She saw the question in his eye,
And needs to know no more.
Alike the Rose and Lily sty
Planchatte tells nothing true;
But Pansy holds a different faith,
She trusts it-wouldn't you ?
