S
When Madison was President,
And quite coquettish in her ways,—
On conquests of the heart intent.
Wooed her in stiff, old-fashioned phrase,—
She was a beauty in the days
When Madison was President.
Shall go, my Rose, who date from Hayes,
I hope you ’ll wear her sweet content
Of whom tradition lightly says:
She was a beauty in the days
When Madison was President.
