Excerpt from book: LITTLE MISS DANDY THE other night as in my bed I lay profoundly sleeping, An angel babe with hairless head Came through the darkness creeping; And, waking at the dawn of day, Bliss percolated through me When, smiling in her artless way, She murmured " papa " to me. Strange, was it not? But stranger still What next claimed my attention - The robes of wealth with tuck and frill Too numerous to mention. Whence came these bibs with lace bedecked- These flannels all so handy? And who could possibly suspect The coming of Miss Dandy? Well, she shall live a thousand years, Unmindful of each morrow; Her eyes shall know no plash of tears, Her heart no touch of sorrow; And she shall dress in silk and lace And feed on taffy candy - God bless her fuzzy little face, My little angel dandy! August n, 1885 SPIRIT LAKE UPON this beautiful expanse Of purple waves and spray The wanton prairie zephyrs dance With sunbeams all the day. And ships go sailing to and fro; The sea-gulls circle round; bove the plash of ebb and flow The children's voices sound. See how the playful pickerel speeds Upon his devious way Among the lissome, clinging weeds, In hot pursuit of prey; And here or there the greedy bass In their erratic flight Like dark electric shadows pass Before our wondering sight. Oh, what a wealth oflife is here - What pike and carp abound! Within these waters, cool and clear, What game may not be found! You only have to bait your hook And cast it in the spray; Down - fathoms down - it sinks; and look! You 've caught your finny prey. O beauteous lake with pebbly shore And skies of azure hue, With gulls and zephyrs skimming o'er Thy waves of restless blue, To thee I dedicate this hymn In melanchol.
