HER little glove, I dare aver,
Would set your pulses all astir;
It hides a something safe from sight
So soft and warm, so small and white,
A cynic would turn flatterer!
Could Pegasus have better spur?
'Twould almost cause a saint to err --
A Puritan to grow polite --
Her little glove.
'Twill satisfy a connoisseur,
This dainty thing of lavender;
And when it clasps her fingers tight
I think -- I wonder if it's right --
That somehow -- well -- I wish I were
Her little glove.
