NEW YORK AND LONDON D. APPLETON AND COMPANY 1915
TO LOUISE JOCELYN
All the pretty things you say, All the pretty things you do In your own delightful way Make me fall in love with you, Turning Autumn into May.
Every day is twice as gay Just because of you, Louise! Which is going some, you say? In my dull, pedantic way I am fashioning my lay Just because I want to please.

R.W.C.
Christmas, 1915.
