Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 64
A toadstool comes up in a night,—Learn the lesson, little folk :— An oak grows on a hundred years,But then it is an oak. … A pocket handkerchief to hem-Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear ! How many stitches it will takeBefore its done, I fear. Yet set a stitch and then a stitch,And stitch and stitch away, Till stitch by stitch the hem is done-And after work is play ! 43
