Skating

Listen in the reader

Over the ice she flies Perfect and poised and fair— Stars in my true-love's eyes Teach me to do and to dare!

Now will I fly as she flies ... Woe for the stars that misled! Stars that I saw in her eyes Now do I see in my head!

Now we must come away. What are you out of pocket? 'Sorry to spoil your play, But Somebody says we must pay— And the candle's down to the socket— Its horrible tallowy socket!
