TAKINGS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: He took her fancy when he came
Last Line: And after that he took his leave.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hood, Tom, The Younger
Subject(s): Absence; Kisses; Separation; Isolation


HE took her fancy when he came,
He took her hand, he took a kiss,
He took no notice of the shame
That glowed her happy cheek at this.

He took to come of afternoons,
He took an oath he'd ne'er deceive,
He took her master's silver spoons,
And after that he took his leave.
