Her Graduation Sleeves

Why does the sweet girl gradúate Seem so preoecupled? Wby does she haunt tlie dressmaker, As if she were a bride? All day, and half into the night, Her faucy visions weaves; She's putting her wliole soul into Her graduation sleeves. Maybe she hasan essay, too, Ou sorae important theme, Llke, "How to make a home happy;" or, "Are things just what they seem?" But that whieh, UU a troubled sleep Her active ijrain relieves, Absorls her thought is, what she'll have For sraduution sleeves. Of eourse, there'll be, to hang thern on, A graduation dress; Bul Uiat gels little thought f rom her, And otlier thlngs still Igks, That iateful pair of big balloous Alone her care receivös; Her lile jus ï now is eenl ered in Her gradaation .slee ves.
