SERIOUS SYDDIE
Serious Syddie's little breast
Is such a queer and happy nest
Of fancies coming fast from joy
To be companions for the boy!
Is such a queer and happy nest
Of fancies coming fast from joy
To be companions for the boy!
Serious Syddie really thinks
A Fairy lives among the pinks,
And watches near the fragrant place
In hope to see her blushing face.
A Fairy lives among the pinks,
And watches near the fragrant place
In hope to see her blushing face.
Serious Syddie often nods
Asleep beside the goldenrods;
And once a butterfly mistook
His dimple for a honeyed nook.
Asleep beside the goldenrods;
And once a butterfly mistook
His dimple for a honeyed nook.
Serious Syddie, when he goes
To Pillowland to curl his toes,
Calls shadowy playmates from his head
To warm him as he lies in bed.
To Pillowland to curl his toes,
Calls shadowy playmates from his head
To warm him as he lies in bed.
Serious Syddie never can
Be lonely child or lonely man,
For finches sweet and harebells slim
Are dear as boys and girls to him.
Be lonely child or lonely man,
For finches sweet and harebells slim
Are dear as boys and girls to him.
