A Dilemma.

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 n't read a word. A precious dilemma, This letter from Emma!
