"Ridden Down" from Puck
by Ellis Parker Butler


from Puck
Ridden Down
by Ellis Parker Butler

When 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!
