Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 340
ous touch-me-not, jewel-tipped;Shadowy arrow-head, that seemsLike the blossoms that grow in dreams; Cresses all crispand dripping cool.Snatched from their bed in the shallow pool—Who can count them, or who can tellHalf the treasures the br<^ok hides well! Then in the sky the sun hangs low ; i… … r - I - So, little maid, when the days are long.And dull as the locusts changeless song.And the drowsy old earth seems charmed to keep,Like the court of the Princess, fast asleep,And the grown folk leave you to play alone—Go find a brook and a mossy stone.
