To a Little Girl.
Seal of the Letter.
Hursley Vicarage,
Dec. 22, 1863.
There was a kind small maiden
, and she was fain to greet
Her Godpapa and Vicar with a little loving treat.
So she counsell'd with her sisters, and all the three agreed,
And by an old acquaintance, a letter sent with speed;
Which when the Vicar open'd, he ponder'd o'er and o'er:
“The time I see is Wednesday, a quarter after four.
301
No word is here to say, but a Heart and Crown I see:—
A little Heart brimful of love, a Crown without a care:
O this is Christmas mirth indeed, I'll joyfully be there!”
