A PHANTASY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: HER BEAMING EYES OF DEEPEST BLUE
Last Line: YALE WON AGAIN
Subject(s): HARVARD UNIVERSITY;YALE UNIVERSITY;

HER beaming eyes of deepest blue
Enthralled all who to Yale were true.
Her crimson lips, too, conquests made:
Fair Harvard's sons their homage paid,
And many a suitor came to woo
Petite Elaine.

I begged a kiss awhile ago;
The crimson lips, 'tis true, said "No,"
But in her eyes turned up to me
I read the answer differently --
The crimson never had a show,
Yale won again.
