Living

The Re-echo Club: as by Austin Dobson (Lady of Niger)

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From The Re-echo Club

Living

She went for a ride,
That young lady of Niger;
Her smile was quite wide
As she went for a ride;
But she came back inside,
With the smile on the tiger!
She went for a ride,
That young lady of Niger.
