HER PROGRAMME OF DANCE, by                    
First Line: This little blue card I found on the floor
Last Line: That first fatal day when I met her.
Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers; Flirtation


THIS little blue card I found on the floor,
A record of promenade dances,
A mute reminiscence of days that are o'er,
A witness of dancing romances!
This little blue card, all covered with names
That breathe forth a gentle reminder
Of one among all that fair concourse of dames
Who has left a heart aching behind her;
So I picked up the card and put it away
With a ribbon, a verse, and a letter, --
All four of them tokens that speak of the day,
That first fatal day when I met her.
