Summary

A man's love song to the beautiful brown-haired girl with the red cheeks, whom he has left behind to go to the West Indies. He reads her letter, which arrived on Tuesday, and he recognised her hand before he opened it. He praises her hand-writing and looks back with sadness at the time he bid his sweetheart farewell.
