Going to Him! Happy letter!

Going to Him! Happy letter!
Tell Him --
Tell Him the page I did'nt write --
Tell Him -- I only said the Syntax --
And left the Verb and the pronoun out --
Tell Him just how the fingers hurried --
Then -- how they waded -- slow -- slow --
And then you wished you had eyes in your pages --
So you could see what moved them so --

Tell Him -- it was'nt a Practised Writer --
You guessed -- from the way the sentence toiled --
You could hear the Boddice tug, behind you --
As if it held but the might of a child --
You almost pitied it -- you -- it worked so --
Tell Him -- no -- you may quibble there --
For it would split His Heart, to know it --
And then you and I, were silenter.

Tell Him -- Night finished -- before we finished --
And the Old Clock kept neighing "Day"!
And you -- got sleepy -- and begged to be ended --
What could it hinder so -- to say?
Tell Him -- just how she sealed you -- Cautious!
But -- if He ask where you are hid
Until tomorrow -- Happy letter!
Gesture Coquette -- and shake your Head!

Going -- to -- Her!
Happy -- Letter! Tell Her --
Tell Her -- the page I never wrote!
Tell Her, I only said -- the Syntax --
And left the Verb and the Pronoun -- out!

Then -- how they -- stammered -- slow -- slow --
And then -- you wished you had eyes -- in your pages --
So you could see -- what moved -- them -- so --

Tell Her -- it was'nt a practised writer --
You guessed --
From the way the sentence -- toiled --
You could hear the Boddice -- tug -- behind you --

Tell Her -- No -- you may quibble -- there --
For it would split Her Heart -- to know it --

But -- if she ask "where you are hid" -- until the evening -- Ah!
Be bashful!
