Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence

I really missed out on this - meant to bid for it, and forgot. Its one of two 'o'clock tales' books I need in a dust wrapper, but I was sure it would go for a high price and so didn't bid, then forgot to check what the price was before it ended. I see it ended with no bids, so I could have got it for the starting price! :-(
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

:( That is so annoying when that happens, made even worse by the inevitable fact that it then either sells low or no bids!

There's one off World of Rare Books here, not quite as tidy or cheap but possibly an alternative if the bids go up on the other:
