Chorus of Wall-flowers.Cease, O girls, your daring song, Full of adulation madFor the nimble-footed ladWhom your fulsome praises wrong.Gazing on your dainty throng, Well we mark you sneer and pout;Well we know ye scorn and floutThem that now severely chide.Much, ye deem, our eyes would seeIn the form of Filigree, If twere not our doom to mopeFar from his approving glance, Everlastingly deniedAny little spark of hopeThat his feet will pause besideUs whom no one asks to dance.Rightly have ye judged perchance;Yet the lonely wall-flowers brood, In their sad neglected stateOf perpetual solitude;. 76 THE BUNTLING BALE Oft they muse and cogitate On the conduct bold and rude Of the belles more fortunate. Oft they make their murmur low At your sentiments imbued With such artificial glow. Ah, we lonely wall-flowers guess All your schemes, astute and shrewd, All the deep, deceptive wiles, All the Machiavellian smiles That accomplish your success, Leaning limp against the wall, With no gardener at all To relieve our irksome lot. Fain our tendrils would incline With dependence feminine Toward some stout supporting bole ; Yet we may secure it not, And the yearning must control Of each disappointed soul. Never may the wall-flower tell, THE BUNTUNG Ji.lt/ Though she ponder many hums.Just by what peculiar spell She is unlike other flowers; Never may she learn the whence Of such doleful difference. Though she strive with all her powers, Never may she bea belle! This alone she understands, While the seasons run
