The little god, child verse for grown-ups . AUNTIE Aunties come. Shes a girl;Shes Daddys sister,—And her hairs all a yellow goes this way when she walks,As if she had a tail,—Wriggle, wriggle like a fish,And she laughs while she night time shes some fun:Lets me play with her hair,And tells me stories that shouldnt be done, Mother says,Cause I had a night-mareAll wound in Aunties couldnt get loose;I tried so very hard,—and thenI says theres no excuse. II Aunties gone away; She couldnt stay. Shes coming back some day; Shes going to be my wife. Ill have her all my life, All tangled in her yellow hair— Such soft hair. But Im sort of fraid of That night-mare. I think Ill need Mother too; If the hair wound tight And the mare galloped in the night, Mother would know what to do.— Yes, Ill need Mother THE CANNIBAL Mignonette and violets and roses,—All these smelly ones I think are made for like them the others sort of mad, you see;Theyve been sticking out their tongues at me. Im so glad that we have summer showers,Cause I couldnt live without my I love them so I eat them;Mother says its how a cannibal wouldtreat them. ON THE WAY TO DOVER Mother says Lands End Is at Penzance, And clear days you can see Most to France. But I know—Auntie told me— Theres an edge at Dover Where I could see things If I looked over. I climbed on top the gate-postAnd looked down the road;Something was hopping by,—It was a think he was on the way to Dover,Going to the edge to look are so free, toads are,—They can hop so far.
