COLUMBINE’S THOUGHTS 
Harlequin has lovely eyes 
And he seems so very wise. 
Yet he bows him at my feet. 
Finds my maiden kisses sweet. 
All this goes to prove, I’m sure. 
Men admire us demure; 
Like us simple, good, and kind. 
I please Harlequin’s mind. 
He declares he can’t exist 
Without kissing my small wrist. 
So I think I’ll give him me. 
All I have shall be quite free. 
He shall have me for a prize. 
Harlequin with lovely eyes. 
Mary Lapsley Caughey, 1921.
