from Puck
Ridden Down
by Ellis Parker ButlerWhen I taught Ida how to ride a
Bicycle that night,
I ran beside her, just to guide her
Erring wheel aright;
And many times there in the street
She rode upon my weary feet.But now can Ida mount and ride a
Wheel with graceful ease,
And I, untiring in admiring,
Fall upon my knees
To worship her, -- and, for her part,
She rides upon my proffered heart!
