THE WEDDING BONNET, by                     Poet's Biography

Alternate Author Name(s): Faulks, Frederick J., Mrs.

SHE tied her wedding bonnet on --
The rosy bow beneath her chin,
And all the little birds outside
Burst into chorus for the bride --
Ah, how she thrilled to hear within!

She tied her wedding bonnet on --
Her mirror was one flattery;
The roses at the bonnet's brim
Seemed all her passing thoughts of him
Transformed to pink reality.

She tied her wedding bonnet on
With soft and tender fingering,
And thought whose strong brown hands would so
Bend to untie the dainty bow,
Then blushed as if she felt the ring.
