Almost Dying of Ennui.

By Thomas Winthrop Hall

What do they care for my lips?

Why did I come? It's a pity!

Nothing but water and ships,

And Jack far away in the city.

Oh for one ride in the park,

With Jack humming bars from a ditty;

Kissing me ( when it grows dark ).

Fy! Oh — heigho, for the city!
