THE GOOSEBERRY BUSH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: He brought her a hat and a little golden shoe
Last Line: Who can be running after him? Heavens! I don't know.
Subject(s): Courtship; Gifts & Giving


He brought her a hat and a little golden shoe,
She looked at him, she shook her head, and said they wouldn't do.

He brought her an eagle, and a small canary bird,
She looked at him, she looked at him, and never said a word.

He walked around the gooseberry bush, where babies used to grow --
Who can be running after him? Heavens! I don't know.
