Not illustrated. 1871 Excerpt: ...not with anything that is, Nor cut it with thy knife. Ah! be not angry with the knot That holdeth fast thy life. LITTLE ELFIE. I Have a puppet-jointed child, Only three half-years old; Through lawless hair her eyes gleam wild, With looks both shy and bold. Like little imps, her tiny hands Dart out and push and take; Chide her--a trembling thing she stands, And like two leaves they shake. But to her mind, a minute gone Is like a year ago; And when you lift your eyes anon, Anon you must say no. Sometimes, though not oppressed with care, She has her sleepless fits; Then, blanket-swathed, in that round chair The elfish mortal sits;--Where, if by chance in mood more grave, A hermit she appears, Propped in the opening of his cave, Mummied almost with years. Or like an idol set upright With folded legs for stem, Ready to hear prayers all the night, And never answer them. But where''s the idol-hermit thrust? Like flails her knee-joints go--Now this, now that!--her mother must Alternate kiss each toe. But. if I turn away and write For minutes three or four--A tiny spectre, tall and white, She''s standing by the door--Long-robed--like stately Mrs. Ham, Entering her Noah''s-ark: She''d change the lion to a lamb By shining through the dark! Again a thought comes in my head, And I must sit and think;--She''s on the table, the quadruped! And dabbling in my ink! O Elfie, make no haste to lose Thy lack of grown-up sense; Thou hast the best gift I could choose--A fearless confidence. THE SHADOWS. My little boy, with smooth fair cheeks, And dreamy, large, brown eyes, Not often, little wisehead, speaks, But what he hears, he tries. God is not only in the sky--His sister said one day; For she was sometimes pleased to cry Like Wisdom in the way: He''s in this room.&...
