TO
MY LITTLE GIRL

"Lay away the story,—
Though the theme is sweet,
There's a lack of something yet
Leaves it incomplete;—
There's a nameless yearning—
Strangely undefined—
For a story sweeter still
Than the written kind.

Therefore read no longer,—
I've no heart to hear,
But just something you make up,
O my mother dear,—
With your arms around me,
Hold me, folded-eyed,—
Only let your voice go on—
I'll be satisfied.
James Whitcomb Riley.
