Love Sonnets of an Office Boy (Sonnet 5)

V

SHE'S got a dimple in her chin, and, oh

How soft and smooth it looks; her eyes are blue;

The red seems always tryin' to peep through

The middle of her cheeks. I'd like to go

And lay my face up next to hers and throw

My arms around her neck, with just us two

Alone together, but not carin' who

Might scold if they should see us actin' so.

If I would know that some poor girl loved me

As much as I do her, sometimes I'd take

Her in my arms a little while and make

Her happy just for kindness, and to see

The pleased look that acrost her face'd break,

And hear the sighs that showed how glad she'd be.
