There was a young man in a hat,
And by came Miss B. in a bonnet;
He smiled when he looked at the lat-
ter: ay, and the roses upon it.
          But when, by and by -
          As blue as the sky -
          He detected her eye
‘Neath its brim, well, oh my!
He wished that fair cheek was well under his hat.
And his own half concealed in her bonnet.
