Patters like a summer rain.
Now the talk grows confidential,
Fair unknown takes Charley's hand,
Asks if they may not be sisters
With a look he can't withstand.

Half ashamed, yet curious growing,
Charles Fernando 's led to ask,
"Why should we girls be so stupid?
Come, dear, let us both unmask."
Drop the masks, the faces showing,
Mutual wonder, mutual stare,
For it was the Freshman rooming
Opposite to Charles, in Thayer.
