Description |
"Admiration" depicts a man observing a woman who is seated on a park bench. He is smoking a cigar, and his jacket is too small
for his waist, but his pocket chain, tie, plaid wiastcoat, and hat suggest an interest in fashion. The woman, who is reading
a book, is seated in a position that reveals her calves below her pink walking dress; she does not appear to notice the man.

Notes |
Text: I saw her in the garden / A readin' of a book/ I couldn't help admirin' / Well, -- say the maiden's look! / I wondered
if she knew it, / And turned again to see; / For, if I thought she did, I vow, / My valentine she should be.
