Subject(s): Asses & Mules; Ignorance; Kisses; Mules; Dullness; Stupdity
THE world's an ass, the world can't see,
And grows more stupid daily:
It says, my darling child, of thee, --
Thou livest far too gaily.
The world's an ass, the world can't see,
Thy character not knowing;
It knows not how sweet thy kisses be,
How rapturously glowing.
