THAT SWEET GIRL GRADUATE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: SO STATELY AND SO DIGNIFIED
Last Line: HER MORTAR-BOARD'S ON STRAIGHT
Subject(s): LOVE;

SO stately and so dignified
She looks in cap and gown,
I hardly dare to speak to her,
This grad. of great renown.

I scarcely can believe my eyes!
It surely can't be she
Who always seemed so very shy,
So very coy to me!

But suddenly the spell departs,
And I give thanks to Fate;
For anxiously she asks me if
Her mortar-board's on straight.
