A Dilemma
A letter for me,
From the girl that I love!
Just penned by her hand
And caressed by her glove.
A jewel—a gem—ah!
A letter from Emma.
A letter for me,
Oh, what joy, what surprise!
Just kissed by her lips—
At least, blest by her eyes.
’T is opened—ahem, ah!
A letter from Emma.
A letter for me,
From my sweet little bird.
Eight pages, by Jove!
And I can’t read a word.
A precious dilemma,
This letter from Emma!
