A letter for me,

From the girl that I love!

Just penned by her hand

And caressed by her glove.

A jewel—a gem—ah!

A letter from Emma.

A letter for me,

Oh, what joy, what surprise!

Just kissed by her lips—

At least, blest by her eyes.

'T is opened—ahem, ah!

A letter from Emma.

A letter for me,

From my sweet little bird.

Eight pages, by Jove!

And I can't read a word.

A precious dilemma,

This letter from Emma!
