St. Nicholas [serial] (1873)

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 320

An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 320 — nd stealthy and 787 So he slept like an honest Owl all day,And rose in the early twilight gray, And went to work in the dusky lightTo look for the early worm all night. He searched the country for miles around, But the early worm was not to be found.So he went to bed in the dawning light, And… … At last in despair he gave up the search, And was heard to remark, as he sat on his perchBy the side of his nest in the hollow tree, The thing is as plain as night to me —Nothing can shake my conviction firm, There V no such thing as the early worm.
