THE TRAP
On waking up to drink my cup
Of early morning tea, I found
A metal hare, a Johnny Bear,
A donkey in a wooden pound,
And other treasures laid in rows
By merry Meg beneath my nose
When I was sleeping
Never so
Fast.
Of early morning tea, I found
A metal hare, a Johnny Bear,
A donkey in a wooden pound,
And other treasures laid in rows
By merry Meg beneath my nose
When I was sleeping
Never so
Fast.
I laughed aloud, and put the crowd
Of playthings on the coverlet;
And blessed the child by whom so mild
And innocent a trap was set,
With little bubblings of delight,
Before the sun was very bright,
When I was dreaming
Never so
Deep.
Of playthings on the coverlet;
And blessed the child by whom so mild
And innocent a trap was set,
With little bubblings of delight,
Before the sun was very bright,
When I was dreaming
Never so
Deep.
At last I heard a choky word,
Or giggle, underneath my bed,
Whereat for me, with shouts of glee,
Up sprang the sun of Margaret's head!
And when I took the mite to hold,
In bed, the pillow shone like gold
While we were cuddling
Never so
Hard.

Whereat for me, with shouts of glee,
Up sprang the sun of Margaret's head!
And when I took the mite to hold,
In bed, the pillow shone like gold
While we were cuddling
Never so
