THE TOY-SELLER
The Toy-seller his idle wares
Carefully ranges, side by side;
With coveting soft earnest airs
The children linger, open-eyed.
Carefully ranges, side by side;
With coveting soft earnest airs
The children linger, open-eyed.
His haunted soul from far away
Looks in the lamplight absently:
They see not him, O happy they!
He sees not them, O woeful he!
Looks in the lamplight absently:
They see not him, O happy they!
He sees not them, O woeful he!
