Progress:

A Poem.

I've no excuse for being here,
And what, to you, may seem still worse,
Can give no reasons why I choose
To clothe my humble theme in verse;
Except it be for fashion's sake,
For now-a-days I trust you know
That prose is being laid aside,
While softer numbers gently flow.

The school-girl of a dozen years
Must spend her hours of leisure time
In writing down her youthful thoughts,
Regardless of the sense or rhyme;
Yet some in this progressive age,
Whom Nature ever deigns to bless,
Have taken up the harp and pen
And written couplets for the press.
Each Miss must have a fancy book -
I think the Album is its name,
And all good friends, both young and old
Contribute nonsense to the same;
Then tell what wonders they have done,
And with a look and air sublime
Show how they have relinquished prose,
And now are wading into rhyme.
