An illustration from A child's garden of verses, 1905, leaf 178 — O WILLIE AND HENRIETTA IF two may read arightThese rhymes of old delightAnd house and garden play,You too, my cousins, and you only, may. You in a garden greenWith me were king and queen,Were hunter, soldier, tar,And all the thousand things that children are. Now in the elders seatWe rest with… … II TO MY MOTHER Y OU too, my mother, read my rhymesFor love of unforgotten times,And you may chance to hear once moreThe little feet along the floor. [115]
