The Golfer’s Valentine.

Where’er I look, whnte'er the place. Mine eyeu are stymied by thy face! Whate’er I try to do the while. My Btroke Is foozled by your smile! Where’er I walk, I can't disguise. My steps are bunkered by thine eyes I Some days when than art kind to me My heart Is lofted gloriously. But when, alnsl 1 have thy frown, ’Tls topped and sinks, and sinks deep down! Sometimes, when listening to thy mirth, I’d try to loft the whole glad earth, * And make each mortal on It see How sweet life’s fair green is to me. Ah, Phyllis, dear, my soul’s so wrapt To think of thee, I’m handicapped! But on my knees I beg the Joy. Of being just thy caddy-boy. Two np are we npon this day— Let’s seek the priest—with one to play! Or, If 'tls medal play, ’twill do. Were we to make It one off twol —Harper’s Monthly. «
