English poem
A Rhyming Reverie.
by Thomas Winthrop Hall (1862–1900)
It was a dainty lady's glove; A souvenir to rhyme with love.
It was the memory of a kiss, So called to make it rhyme with bliss.
There was a month at Mt. Desert, Synonymous and rhymes with flirt.
A pretty girl and lots of style, Which rhymes with happy for a while.
There came a rival old and bold, To make him rhyme with gold and sold.
A broken heart there had to be. Alas, the rhyme just fitted me.
