Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in;
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young man's heart within.

Their long, bright tresses, one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there,
After the revel was done.


Nora Perry
