Mistress Mary
“O Mistress Mary--Mistress Mary--
What have you found in your new old house?
Paperers are waiting you, and carpenters, and gardeners--
And you are up garret, just as still as a mouse!
What makes your eyes so wet and so round?
Mary--Mary! What have you found?”
“Where the sour old wind grieves under the eaves
There’s an old trunk hid--Oh the dust on the lid!
I pulled out from it a gay round box,
And in it were worn-out boots and socks--
Little, soft socks and little, stout boots--
And a child’s crude drawings of flowers and fruits,
And a tiny toy whip, and a ship and a ball--
Oh--they’re just like a little lost boy! That’s all!”
